INTRODUCTION 

"Have  you  thought  there  could  be  but  one  Supreme? 

There  can  be  any  number  of  Supremes — One  cannot 
countervail  another,  any  more  than  one  eye  can 
countervail  another,  or  one  life  countervail  an- 
other."— Whitman. 

A  scientific  age  will  relate  its  problems  to  natu- 
ral law.  We  claim  to  be  living  in  a  scientific  age. 
Among  the  problems  of  the  hour  we  find  one  which 
compasses  the  world. 

Reforms  which  today  have  no  defined  scientific 
basis  upon  which  to  rest  their  appeal  to  the  people 
must  naturally  die  a  natural  death. 

The  problem,  Votes  for  Women,  faces  all  na- 
tions. Today  each  nation  is  evolving  out  of  its 
own  intelligence  the  battle  ground  upon  which  this 
appeal  of  life,  through  womanhood,  is  to  be  met. 
The  fundamental  principle  of  Democracy  found  its 
first  great  victory  upon  these  shores.  Here  a  prin- 
ciple became  a  Republic.  Here  life  clothed  the 
Law  of  Revolution  with  flesh  and  gave  the  divine 
body  bone  and  structure,  with  the  blood  of  a 
mighty  race  for  its  blood.  The  Republic  was  born, 
under  the  law,  a  child,  to  be  born  again  as  a  man- 
child,  recognizing  a  first  and  a  second  birth  in  its 
mortal  construction, — a  birth  which  ordains  fol- 
lowed by  a  birth  which  establishes  in  immortality 
that  which  was  ordained  in  the  original  conception.

2  INTRODUCTION 

America  faces  its  native  problem  in  that  order 
of  evolution  which  commands  an  involution  to 
stand  forth  as  the  creative  principle  of  new  genera- 
tive existence.  Where  the  scientific  age  has  found 
root  reason  is  found  as  the  one  supreme  in  the  will 
of  the  people.  Where  force  is,  reason  is  not. 
Where  reason  is  not,  science — although  it  be  big 
with  discovery — can  make  no  appeal.  The  scien- 
tific age  has  born  its  spirit  and  is  today  seeking 
body  for  its  voice.  A  scientific  age  brings  its  own 
life  and  thought  and  expression  to  the  civilization 
which  is  its  own.  It  brings  reason  to  the  throne  of 
reason  in  the  flesh  of  its  life.  The  entirely  scien- 
tific looks  to  the  ether,  which  falleth  as  the  gentle 
dew,  and  not  to  the  magnetic  forces  of  life,  for  the 
enthronement  of  Law.  Force  belongs  to  the  mag- 
netic age.  The  closing  era  has  enthroned  force. 
An  ether  age  has  dawned  to  establish  peace.  The 
things  of  an  era  are  not  isolated  from  the  natural 
law  of  that  era.  The  nineteenth  century  declared 
that  the  universe  is  governed  by  Law.  The  twen- 
tieth establishes  that  declaration  in  understanding 
upon  all  planes  of  thought  and  action.  The  twen- 
tieth century  brings  an  art  of  government  resting 
upon  natural  law. 

The  rise  of  womanhood  throughout  the  world 
must  be  related  to  the  rise  of  the  law  of  a  new  era ; 
an  ether  rise  in  all  nature,  manifest  in  the  natural 
brain  of  a  natural  Man ;  a  universal  uprising  gov- 
erned, not  by  individual  nations,  but  by  Life,  and 
the  Law  of  Life. 


INTRODUCTION  8 

The  dream  of  America  is  one  of  supremacy 
upon  the  high  seas.  The  reality  of  that  inverted 
ambition  is  written  in  supremacy  upon  a  sea  which 
is  crystal,  written  within  the  Revelation  of  Law, 
bringing  that  holy  see  which  shall  enthrone  Law 
as  the  Lord  of  Life,  by  the  authority  of  a  people, 
reborn.  Life  is  now  stooping  again  to  write  upon 
the  ground,  "Taxation  without  Representation  is 
Tyranny."  How  shall  America  as  an  intelligent 
nation  meet  its  fundamental  principle  in  normal 
second  birth  ?  Shall  it  meet  its  natal  problem  with 
opinions  of  men  and  women,  with  interpretations  of 
a  past  age  or,  with  the  Law  of  the  era  which 
brought  the  second  birth? 

The  ether  law  divorces  its  age  from  dominance. 
The  problem  of  an  ether  age  is  to  enthrone  its  law. 
The  magnetic  era  enthroned  its  law  in  brains 
and  things.  The  magnetic  era  of  dominance 
is  ended,  not  by  man,  but  by  a  "limit  of 
growth"  period  in  its  own  constitution.  The  mag- 
netic era  is  ended  not  by  this  reform  or  by  that  but 
by  Life,  which  now  writes  its  new  law  in  its  new 
century.  Though  the  magnetic  law  at  its  limit  of 
dominance  build  the  dreadnaughts  of  combined  na- 
tions, the  will  of  the  new  century  is  the  will  of  that 
dreadnaught  "which  passeth  and  goeth  through 
all  things,"  the  will  of  the  ether  law.  The  twen- 
tieth century  brings  humanity  face  to  face,  not 
with  new  humanly  conceived  conditions,  but  with  a 
newly  discovered  natural  law,  which  law  must  de- 
fine itself,  and  its  will  in  the  human  problems  which 


4  INTRODUCTION 

lie  in  civilization.  America  conquered  before  upon 
the  issue,  "Taxation  without  Representation  is 
Tyranny"  under  the  fiery  law  of  beginnings  written 
in  the  years  of  her  life.  She  conquers  again  under 
the  law  of  the  times  in  which  she  meets  her  problem. 
She  conquers  again  to  write  America  within 
the  law  of  the  times,  ascending  with  the  universal 
ether  forces  of  nature.  Nature  uses  human  figures 
as  figure  heads  of  natural  processes  only  until  the 
people  have  seen  and  learned  to  know  nature  and 
her  way  of  ascension.  Life  must  lead  its  people 
through  primitive  war  and  strife  until  that  intel- 
ligence is  born  which  will  follow  the  Law  of  Life. 
America  is  no  longer  primitive.  A  new  law  is  born 
unto  intelligence.  This  law  is  divorced  from  domi- 
nance. Nations  to  inherit  the  protection  of  the  ris- 
ing ether  law  divorce  themselves  from  dominance. 
Dominance  is  won  and  sustained  by  destroying  the 
center  between  equal  opposite s. 

When  the  center  between  equal  opposites  is  de- 
stroyed nature  forms  center  in  the  midst  of  the 
positive  one  of  a  dual  opposite  expression  of  na- 
ture. When  nature  has  given  two  equal  and  oppo- 
site to  sustain  center  between  equal  opposites,  and 
this  center  is  destroyed,  center  is  formed  in  the 
positive  one,  which  center  creates  an  impotent  left 
hand  in  brains  and  things,  in  nations  and  in  civi- 
lization. Knowledge  of  this  fact  is  the  fundamen- 
tal principal  of  Democracy  in  an  art  of  govern- 
ment. 

Positive  magnetic  dominance  is  abnormal.    That 


INTRODUCTION  5 

which  is  normal  is  that  which  is  creative.  No- 
where in  the  whole  realm  of  life  is  the  magnetic 
center  creative.  The  magnetic  is  the  center  formed 
in  the  positive  one  where  nature  has  intended  equal 
opposite  relation.  In  the  discovery  of  the  ether 
life  brings  to  the  intelligence  revelation  of  the  cre- 
ative one  which  lies*  in  the  midst  of  equal  opposites. 

The  twentieth  century  has  to  do,  not  with  the 
problem  of  dominance,  but  with  the  problem  of  that 
balanced  relation  of  two  which  produces  the  "neu- 
tral pair"  which  produces  "the  regeneration" 
which  is  the  immortality  of  the  center  between  op- 
posites, which  is  life  more  abundant.  The  twenti- 
eth century  has  to  do  solely  with  the  universal 
problem  of  the  preservation  of  man's  natural  re- 
sources and  appropriation  of  the  same.  Here  the 
woman  problem  appears  in  place  as  the  most  sig- 
nificant sign  among  the  signs  of  the  times,  all  of 
which  are  declaring  a  newly  discovered  relation  of 
life's  eternally  dual  force,  the  natural  function  of 
which  is  not  generation  but  re-generation. 

A  relation  of  dual  force  has  been  discovered  by 
science,  which  points  the  eye  of  reason  toward  the 
problem  of  immortality.  The  problem  of  an  im- 
mortal existence  is  the  central  problem  of  every 
opposite  duality.  Immortality  now,  says  science, 
is  a  problem  of  the  regeneration.  Now  force  is 
dual  for  relation.  As  science  has  declared  a  rela- 
tion of  dual  force  which  is  generative  and  a  rela- 
tion which  is  regenerative,  intelligence  may  law- 
fully ask,  if  force  is  dual  for  relation,  what  rela- 


6  INTRODUCTION 

tion  is  it  dual  for?  The  natural  question  which 
science  now  faces  is,  May  duality  then  be  written 
in  generative  or  regenerative  relation  according  to 
the  will  of  man? 

A  scientific  era  which  has  already  declared,  "Life 
shall  henceforth  be  considered  a  problem  of  rela- 
tions," will  naturally  define  the  relation  which  is 
death  and  the  relation  which  is  life  in  death. 
Forces  are  life  elements.  The  nation  then  which 
has  life  has  natural  dual  force  to  be  related  in  a 
center  by  Law.  The  nation  asking  the  way  of  im- 
mortal existence  will  then  ask  of  the  regenerative 
way  of  life  about  that  relation  of  force  which  is 
naturally  regenerative. 

The  problem  of  permanency  is  then  brought  at 
once  to  a  relation  between  inherent  dual  force.  The 
present  generation  is  not  called  upon  to  create  a 
republican  form  of  government;  the  creation  is 
whole.  The  problem  of  the  present  is,  How  shall 
we  sustain  that  which  has  been  created?  This  is  an 
earth  problem.  The  regeneration  exists  in  nature 
for  the  original  generation.  The  whole  question 
of  national  perpetuity  rests  upon  that  regeneration 
which  outflows  from  a  relation  of  dual  force  the 
natural  function  of  which  is  regeneration.  If  the 
creative  force  which  is  to  sustain  this  republic  is 
masculine,  then  America  loses  that  heritage  of  dis- 
covery which  science  is  bequeathing  this  day  to  the 
whole  world.  Is  man,  or  life,  the  creator  of  lib- 
erty? Man  cannot  create.  Life  creates.  Man  can- 
not function.  Life  functions.  Man  establishes 


INTRODUCTION  7 

the  relations  through  which  life  functions.  Man 
crowns  life  and  its  "way"  before  life  may  crown 
him  with  the  fruits  of  the  way. 

If  Life  formed  the  republic  the  regeneration  is  a 
normal  inheritance  of  the  people.  If  Life  formed 
the  republic  Life  only  will  reform  and  establish  the 
regeneration  of  that  which  it  generated.  Regen- 
eration, says  science  (since  the  discovery  of  a 
radio-activity  of  matter),  is  a  problem  of  the  rela- 
tion of  two  universal  forces,  known  as  the  positive 
(or  the  man  of  force)  and  the  woman,  or  the  nega- 
tive of  force.  These  two  forces  exist  within  all 
force.  These  two  forces  belong  not  to  each  other, 
but  to  the  Law  and  to  each  other  only  in  the  Law. 

The  discovery  of  a  regenerative  relation  of  na- 
ture's eternal  two  is  the  marvel  of  the  hour.  That 
a  regeneration  is  the  natural  result  of  a  natural 
function,  born  of  dual  relation,  is  the  startling 
statement  of  a  scientific  era  which  already  promises 
to  be  an  era  of  regeneration. 

When  we  question  life  we  find  that  we  have  two 
universal  relative  definitions  of  life  force,  a  positive 
and  a  negative.  This  one  dual  fundamental  rela- 
tion underlies  all  life.  All  problems  in  their  last 
analysis  will  naturally  be  returned  to  this  first 
analysis.  This  return  is  by  the  command  of  a  law 
which  compels  force  to  move  in  circles.  The  first 
and  last  figure  of  creation  is  that  circle  which  is 
naught — the  seed  O,  the  womb  of  all  life.  This 
figure  "naught"  becomes  the  letter  0,  the  fifteenth 
letter  of  the  English  alphabet. 


8  INTRODUCTION 

Until  the  twentieth  century  the  positives  and 
negatives  of  creation  were  supposed  to  be  capable 
of  forming  but  one  relation  of  life,  and  that  the 
generative  one.  The  twentieth  century  brought 
the  X-ray,  and  the  dual  Curries,  to  reveal  a  prob- 
lem of  radio  activity,  which  brought  to  science  and 
all  the  generated  forms  of  life  the  problem  of  re- 
generation within  which  lies  the  discovery  of  a 
hitherto  unknown  relation  of  the  positive  creative 
two.  With  this  hitherto  unknown  relation  of  force 
the  problems  of  the  hour  must  concern  themselves. 
A  scientific  age  will  divorce  itself  from  personality. 
It  will  not  question  the  opinions  of  men  and  women. 
It  will  question  nature  and  establish  the  normal 
creative  relations  of  law  in  inherent  parts.  It  will 
concern  itself  with  involution,  where  it  has  hereto- 
fore seen  only  evolution,  or  external  animal  rela- 
tions. Reforms  in  this  era  will  consider  the  in- 
volved relations  of  elemental  forces.  Man,  en 
masse,  is  not  personality,  but  force  under  the  ele- 
mental laws. 

Science  has  today  discovered  a  relation  of  dual 
elemental  life  which  produces  a  motion  of  life  en- 
ergy which  is  regenerative.  Science  does  not  yet 
define  the  relation  of  dual  force  which  produces 
this  motion.  It  has  discovered  a  result;  it  has  not 
yet  found  the  key  to  that  result.  It  has  found  a 
regeneration  written  in  nature  to  declare  the  dis- 
covery of  a  relation  of  inherent  dual  energy,  the 
natural  activity  of  which  is  regeneration.  This 
discovery  concerns  nations  and  political  parties. 


INTRODUCTION  9 

Science  has  now  declared  that  life  must  be  studied 
as  a  problem  of  relative  force.  No  less  an  author- 
ity than  C.  W.  Saleeby,  author  of  "Evolution  the 
Master  Key,"  has  said,  "I  maintain  that  life  must 
be  looked  upon  henceforth  as  a  relative  term." 

Has  a  nation  life?  Then  it  is  the  business  of 
thought  to  see  life  in  relation  to  modern  scientific 
discovery.  If  Life,  and  not  masculine  life,  is  to 
be  written  within  the  ballot  box,  then  Law  is  to  be 
enthroned  there  and  personality  dethroned.  Life 
will  naturally  relate  national  inherent  force  accord- 
ing to  the  universal  plan  of  creation,  which  is  a 
plan  of  salvation  through  a  regeneration  which 
was  involved  in  the  beginning  to  be  evolved  in  the 
end. 

The  republic  was  sown  a  natural  body  by  the 
Law, — a  seed  form.  Its  regeneration  must  rest 
upon  the  square  involution  of  the  original  seed. 
Within  the  normal  seed  lies  an  invisible  relation  of 
creation  which  exists  by  virtue  of  universal  creative 
duality  within  and  without.  The  relation  is  creator 
of  another  seed  body  like  itself,  or  creator  of  the 
regeneration  of  the  original  form.  Nature  gives 
man  a  law  of  generation  and  a  law  of  regeneration, 
a  law  of  incarnation  and  of  reincarnation,  a  law  of 
death  and  law  of  life  more  abundant.  Regenera- 
tion and  reincarnation  have  naught  to  do  with  new 
forms,  but  with  creation  within  the  original  form. 
Reincarnation  is  not  a  new  body,  but  a  new  birth 
within  the  incarnate  body. 

Nations  seeking  that  regeneration  which  is  a  re- 


10  INTRODUCTION 

incarnation  will  enter  the  scientific  age  to  ask  their 
questions  of  Science,  and  not  of  magnetic  leaders. 
Intelligence  today  confronts  Science  with  the  ques- 
tion, What  is  the  inherent  relation  of  dual  force 
which  is  creative  and  creator?  Nature  will  answer 
through  Science,  "The  first  normal  whole  creator 
is  a  body  of  relative  force  which  must  be  defined 
within  and  without  as  a  Law  which  is  three-in-one, 
a  balanced  relation  resting  upon  a  natural  duality 
equal  and  opposite." 

The  normal  creative  relation,  the  normal  Crea- 
tor, was  and  is  and  is  to  be  this  One. 

The  involution  of  every  form  of  Genesis — and 
every  form  of  evolution  is  a  form  of  Genesis — is, 
then,  when  whole,  a  three-in-one  form  of  relativity. 
Every  evolutionary  one  will  then  look  within  for 
the  triune  image,  cast  from  Life.  The  external 
One  with  a  trinity  of  force  within  is  the  only  cre- 
ative One.  With  this  triune  One  all  regeneration 
and  reincarnation  must  have  to  do.  Where  this 
trinity  of  force  is  written  within  life  is,  and  death 
is  not.  This  Creator  alone  is  whole,  or  holy. 

Nations  and  man  seeking  wholeness  will  seek  to 
establish  within  the  external  form  a  triune  relation 
of  normal  dual  force,  which  relation  is  the  only 
equilibrium  known  in  nature,  an  equilibrium 
which  is  the  promise  of  a  regeneration  in  the 
original  form.  The  regeneration  resting  upon  the 
triune  relation  of  inherent  forces  sows  and  reaps 
and  plants  again  within  the  same  external  body. 
The  generation  lets  the  old  body  pass  into  original 


INTRODUCTION  11 

elements,  planting  another  body  in  its  place.  How, 
then,  shall  an  external  body  of  life  form  and  sus- 
tain within  itself  the  all-powerful  triune  relation 
of  resident  forces?  This  is  the  whole  problem  of 
the  conservation  of  natural  resources.  This  prob- 
lem becomes  the  one  vital  problem  of  life.  That 
this  three-in-one  relation  rests  upon  the  eternal  op- 
posite two  the  student  quickly  discovers. 

That  which  America  is  seeking  to-day  is  a  rein- 
carnation of  fundamental  principle  which  shall  be 
the  regeneration  of  the  Republic.  Science  is  given 
as  the  guide  of  all  those  seeking  that  fourth  di- 
mension which  is  one  which  is  square.  The  first 
command  of  the  regeneration  is  to  know  the  triune 
Law,  which  is  defined  as  the  first  whole  one  of  cre- 
ation. In  this  Law  man  may  find  his  law  of  fourth 
dimension. 

Man  is  ignorant,  but  nature  is  wise.  Because  of 
Man's  ignorance  original  planting  is  not  left  to 
him ;  the  seed  of  life  is  formed  for  him.  The  fruit 
of  the  seed  rests  upon  and  proceeds  from  an  inher- 
ent relation  of  force.  The  seed  is  given  to  Man 
with  its  involution  prepared.  At  a  set  time,  known 
to  Law,  the  involution  becomes  the  external  fruit. 
Nature  is  ever  making  ready  for  the  passover  of 
involution  to  evolution.  Though  nature  hides  not 
her  signs  of  the  time  and  place  of  passover,  Man 
is  ever  unready  and  surprised,  indignant  and  blas- 
phemous, when  nature  rises  to  obey  the  law  of  in- 
volution. 

Republics  are  normal  seed,  sown  by  the  Law,  not 


12  INTRODUCTION 

by  the  "founders."  The  "founder"  is  under  the 
generative  law ;  he  is  therefore  ignorant  of  the  pur- 
pose and  intent  of  the  original  planting.  Genera- 
tion in  all  the  earth  is  a  creature  of  impulse,  obey- 
ing creation  by  virtue  of  involved  characteristic. 
In  all  generation  man  is  bound.  In  regeneration 
he  is  free.  Between  the  generative  limit  and  the 
regenerative  beginning  lies  a  bridge,  where  Man 
turns  to  the  Law  to  make  the  pass,  and  here  Nature 
turns  to  Man  to  be  lifted  up,  leaping  with  him  to 
a  new  plane  of  creative  activity.  As  Man  redeems 
Nature,  he  is  redeemed.  The  generation  has  to  do 
with  dual  relation  and  with  dual  force.  The  gen- 
eration, then,  knows  only  the  impulse  of  force. 

The  regeneration  has  to  do  with  Life,  involving 
force.  Now  there  is  all  the  difference  in  the  art  of 
government  whether  we  are  estimating  national 
energy  as  force  or  as  life.  Force  is  always  dual, 
or  positive  and  negative.  Life  is  triune,  bringing 
a  square  or  a  fourth  dimension.  The  fourth 
power  of  the  first  straight  line  of  life  is  the  square. 

Now  womanhood  is  a  national  force,  belonging 
to  the  involved  life  of  the  nation.  No  prejudice  or 
sophistry  of  argument  can  write  her  outside  the  life 
of  the  original  seed.  She  is  inherent  life  and  resi- 
dent force.  Man  may  ignore  Nature.  Law  en- 
thrones Life.  The  rise  of  woman  is  the  rise  of  Law 
in  behalf  of  Life  and  its  normal  ascension. 

Force  is  positive  and  negative  and  always  dual 
in  reasoning,  in  government,  in  love,  in  war.  Force 
exhausts  itself.  Life  creates  itself,  by  re-creation. 


INTRODUCTION  13 

The  duality  creates  with  itself,  and  its  creation  is 
death.  Only  the  three-in-one  form  of  life  creates 
and  recreates  Life.  The  Genesis  of  form  is  the 
seed.  The  seed  of  every  Genesis  contains  that  tri- 
une relation  of  force  which  sustained  is  "the  prom- 
ise" of  the  regeneration.  Every  normal  seed  con- 
tains "the  promise."  Every  human  seed  is  sown  a 
natural  dual  body  and  raised  a  triune  natural  spir- 
itual body  of  Life  at  the  limit  of  external  expan- 
sion. Its  creative  future  lies  within  itself.  Its 
problem  is  at  once  the  divine  relativity  of  involved 
life. 

The  regenerative  seed  is  formed  by  Man.  The 
generative  seed  is  formed  for  Man.  America  is  now 
called  upon  to  form  the  regenerative  seed  of  Life 
after  a  pattern  given,  presenting  that  seed  to  the 
world  for  the  Law.  Nowhere  in  life  is  the  original 
generative  garden  planted  by  Man.  The  original 
form  is  planted  by  the  Law,  and  Man  is  set  by 
Law  to  keep  and  tend  the  garden  which  is  planted 
for  him.  Every  form  is  under  the  Law  of  this 
original  planting.  Every  whole  form  has  an  outer 
body  and  an  inner  relativity  of  force  belonging  to 
the  body  for  the  sustenance  of  the  form,  and  the 
outer  body  and  the  relativity  of  forces  within  are 
counted,  not  as  one,  but  as  one  containing  three. 
The  three  has  to  do  with  the  involved  life ;  the  one 
with  the  external  form.  The  inner  life  is  the  real- 
ity which  builds  the  outer  image.  Now  if  we  con- 
sider the  form  of  the  seed  as  one  containing  two,  we 
have  the  generative  relation  of  force.  This  seed

dies.  The  two  will  be  positively  and  negatively  re- 
lated. The  regeneration  does  not  consider  this 
proposition  of  dual  relation  at  all,  but  at  once  de- 
clares one  involving  a  relativity  within,  which  is 
three-in-one.  The  inner  relation  of  force  sustains 
the  outer  form,  and  existence  must  ever  rest  upon 
the  relations  assumed  by  involved  life. 

Every  original  form  is  an  Eden,  a  universal  gar- 
den under  a  universal  law  which  becomes  the  indi- 
vidual law  of  all  immortal  mortal  forms.  The 
Law  plants  the  garden,  involving  in  that  planting 
a  normal  duality,  to  guard  and  keep  that  which  the 
Law  has  planted.  In  this  garden  there  are  dual 
trees,  and  one  which  is  a  life-giving  center  in  the 
midst,  one  which  is  holy  unto  the  triune  One.  In 
this  garden  two  are  placed,  after  the  eternal  law, 
but  the  triune  way  of  life  and  the  tree  of  the  midst 
is  here  mystery. 

Intelligence  today,  seeing  the  outer  or  evolu- 
tionary form  of  nature,  will  look  within  the  form 
to  see  the  three-in-one  manifestation  of  life;  for 
life  can  no  longer  be  considered  an  external  prob- 
lem. Intelligence  will  look  within  every  normal 
form  for  a  dual  force  placed  opposite  and  equal,  to 
form  a  center,  which  center  is  the  third  part  to  be 
held  for  the  Law,  and  not  to  be  usurped  by  either 
arm  of  the  duality.  This  center  is  the  divine  right 
of  the  Law,  to  be  a  fountain  of  life  unto  two.  The 
intelligence  which  sees  the  equal  positive  and  the 
equal  negative  and  the  center  formed  by  this  equal- 
ity will  also  see  that  this  triune  relativity  has  for  its 


INTRODUCTION  15 

plane  of  expression  a  straight  line  of  force  which 
is  One.  This  relative  line  will  become  to  the  seeing 
eye  and  hearing  ear  the  sword  of  life,  and  to  the 
follower  of  the  ascension  of  life  a  flaming  sword 
to  keep  the  way  of  life.  Intelligence  will  then  see 
this  flaming  sword  placed  by  nature  at  the  entrance 
of  every  original  garden  out  of  which  is  to  issue 
an  ascension  which  is  the  regeneration  and  the  re- 
incarnation and  the  life  of  these.  The  triune  rela- 
tivity is  the  One  which  plants  every  whole  garden 
of  life.  Where  this  One  has  planted  its  figures  the 
regeneration  is  involved  in  every  figure,  which  re- 
generation must  be  an  incarnation  of  the  One  Law. 
The  eternal  triune  relative  involution  is  formed  by 
equal  opposites.  The  involution  of  this  body  of 
life  will  be  the  man  or  nature's  positive,  the  woman, 
or  the  negative,  and  the  center  formed  by  this 
equal  opposite  relation.  In  this  relation  the  cen- 
tral one  of  the  midst,  formed  by  two  opposite  and 
equal,  must  be  counted  and  named  and  signed  as 
the  Law  of  the  Cross.  The  opposite  two  are  repre- 
sented by  the  horizontal  line  and  the  invisible  cen- 
ter is  represented  by  the  line  which  is  perpendicu- 
lar. Where  the  equality  of  opposites  is  written 
we  have  this  relation  signed. 

Here  we  must  come  for  the  law  of  that  square 
which  is  Greek  to  the  world  but  is  nevertheless  the 
Greek  Cross  of  a  natural  dual  relativity  of  the  re- 
generation. Duality  exists  in  natural  law  for  this 
sign  of  the  cross  which  is  the  sign  of  a  square  im- 
mortality through  a  regeneration  written  by  na- 


16  INTRODUCTION 

ture.  Law  arises  throughout  the  world  today  com- 
manding recognition  of  this  cross  of  creative  ele- 
ments, a  new  cross  born  of  a  new  relation  of  the 
eternal  creative  elements  of  Law.  Science  has  dis- 
covered this  cross  of  creative  forces.  Though  this 
relation  has  been  temporarily  seen  upon  earth,  in 
the  affairs  of  life,  it  is  not  to  be  recognized  and  de- 
fined until  the  generation  has  finished  its  course. 
At  the  limit  of  generative  expansion  the  law  of  in- 
volution is  defined  for  the  regeneration  of  that 
which  has  been  generated.  The  ether  is  the  word 
of  the  regeneration,  a  word  not  of  a  thing  but  of 
a  relation  of  forces.  The  ether  problem  is  a  prob- 
lem of  relations.  The  problem  of  the  ether  rela- 
tions is  the  problem  of  that  Peace  which  is  My 
Peace. 

Not  until  the  triune  one  is  seen  can  the  duality 
be  defined.  One  is  at  once  a  relation  of  two  and 
all  creation  is  given  up  to  revelation  of  the  triune 
One.  Not  until  the  day  of  involution  can  this  One 
be-  seen  in  the  flesh  as  the  Lord  of  Life. 

The  involution  of  the  holy  or  whole  one  is  ever 
the  same,  a  triune  one.  The  external  form  in  order 
to  write  its  immortality  makes  at-one-ment  with  its 
involved  relation.  The  external  form  first  recog- 
nizes the  holy  relative  creative  basis  within  and 
then  establishes  that  basis  within  to  be  regenerated 
without  in  that  likeness. 

The  regeneration  rests  entirely  upon  intelligence 
divorced  from  force.  The  drama  of  regeneration 
is  written  ever  at  the  place  of  a  skull.  Until  the 


INTRODUCTION  17 

triune  balanced  relation  of  involved  force  is  recog- 
nized there  can  be  no  light  created  in  all  the  earth. 
The  very  first  manifestation  of  this  One  in  nations 
and  their  affairs,  in  their  brains  and  bodies,  is 
Light.  The  first  grasping  of  the  Law  by  the  un- 
derstanding is  universal  Light,  creating  a  new 
world.  Man  once  seeing  by  the  light  of  Law  will 
establish  faith  in  the  Law  to  go  no  more  out  from 
its  presence.  Nations  without  the  triune  light  sit 
in  darkness  subject  to  the  wiles  of  the  devil,  who 
pleads  ever  for  more  and  more  and  more  genera- 
tion, ignoring  the  triune  relativity  of  involved  na- 
tional resources  upon  which  rests  conservation  and 
regeneration  through  appropriation  of  generative 
fire. 

Nations  in  this  darkness,  without  this  creative 
light,  spill  life  energy  upon  the  ground  in  crea- 
tions which  are  without  form  and  void  of  the  Light 
of  Law.  Normal  creative  activity  today  will  be 
seen  pushing  through  the  darkness,  dividing  the 
waters,  to  establish  a  Firmament  in  the  midst  which 
shall  reveal  the  central  sun  of  the  square  creative 
day  which  is  the  glorious  Fourth. 

Until  this  sun  of  the  fourth  is  born  there  is  no 
sun  to  hold  the  world  to  the  law  of  the  central  one 
born  in  the  midst  of  two  to  be  lifted  up  that  I  may 
be  lifted  up.  Until  the  central  star  of  creation  is 
seen  Life  is  ignorantly  interpreted  as  a  relation  of 
two,  one  to  the  other.  Life  is  a  problem  of  the 
equal-opposite-relation  of  two  to  One.  Life  as  a 
dual  problem  is  one  of  war  and  strife  and  suprem- 
acy under  magnetic  law. 


18  INTRODUCTION 

This  relation  exists  before  creation  to  create  the 
whirl  of  forces  which  goes  before,  but  which  is  not 
creation.  The  dual  relation  exists  for  chaos. 
Chaos  is  a  primitive  creative  condition.  Wisdom  is 
given  man  by  the  Law  pointing  out  unto  him  the 
place  in  personal  and  universal  experience  when 
the  whirl  is  cut  off  and  Law  enters  to  declare  peace 
through  the  Law  which  is  One  and  whose  name  is 
One.  The  nation  is  sick,  insane,  lust-ridden,  out 
of  balance  and  poor  because  it  has  not  sought  the 
equal-dual-opposite  "pots"  of  gold  which  lie  in  the 
promise  at  opposite  ends  of  that  earth  which  is 
"my  bow." 

To  the  law  of  the  triune  One  we  come  for  the  law 
of  the  Square.  Nowhere  in  nature  is  the  triune 
one  formed  without  a  union  of  opposite  in  the  law. 
These  opposites  will  ever  represent  earth  and 
heaven.  The  first  triune  line  which  we  have  formed, 
in  understanding,  in  revolution  will  form  for  us 
the  sphere  in  which  is  involved  the  square.  The  cen- 
ter-between opposites  will  be  the  star  of  this  sphere 
lying  in  the  midst.  The  central  star  of  the  sphere 
will  be  also,  in  all  the  earth  around,  the  central  one 
of  the  straight  line  of  diameter  formed  by  the 
equal  opposite  relation  of  two.  To  this  star  we 
must  go  for  the  central  scientific  life  of  the  new 
era,  which  is  the  era  of  the  regeneration,  the  new 
old  name  of  One  which,  during  the  reign  of  duality, 
is  Jesus  only,  but  in  the  new  era  is  Jesus  the  Re- 
generation. "And  as  Jonas  was  three  days  and 
three  nights  in  the  whale's  belly,  so  shall  the  son  of 


INTRODUCTION  19 

man  be  three  days  and  three  nights  in  the  heart  of 
the  earth."  "And  there  shall  no  sign  be  given"  of 
the  coming  of  the  son  of  man  from  out  the  heart  of 
the  earth,  save  "the  sign  of  the  prophet  Jonas" 
The  first  dual-triune-straight  line  of  force  is 
seen  through  the  earth  or  the  round  spherical  figure 
which  the  law  creates.  The  star  of  this  line  is  held 
in  the  understanding  as  the  third  centre  part 
formed  by  two  to  form  two  whole  and  holy  in  the 
triune  body.  This  star  must  rise.  This  is  our 
point  of  remembrance  as  we  bring  the  law  of  the 
new  era  to  the  affairs  of  that  era.  The  one 
straight  line  of  the  diameter  of  the  sphere  does  not 
obscure  the  duality,  but  the  central  star  of  the 
duality.  This  straight  line,  under  the  triune  law, 
manifests  its  dual  relation  to  the  central  one  at  op- 
posite points  of  the  circumference  of  the  sphere  as 
its  ends,  to  be  the  ends  of  the  earth.  The  central 
one  reaching  through  the  earth  to  opposite  ends 
of  the  earth  bears  two  positives  upon  the  circum- 
ference,— two  positives  that  are  opposite  and  equal, 
deriving  their  equality  not  from  each  other  but 
from  the  relation  of  each  to  the  central  star  of  the 
whole  body  of  equilibrium  in  the  sphere.  Now  posi- 
tive's in  nature's  vocabulary,  are  SONS.  This  word 
is  honored  by  the  triune  body  of  dual  forces.  In 
this  relation  of  opposite  ends  of  creation  upon  the 
earth,  we  have  the  male  and  the  female, — the  eter- 
nal positive  and  negative,  related  in  a  change  which 
has  killed  male  and  female  by  a  change  from  dual 
relation  to  triune  one.  These  facts  are  so  whole 


20  INTRODUCTION 

that  all  creation  uses  them  in  all  construction. 
Only  Christianity,  or  modern  civilization,  seems  to 
have  been  ignorant  of  the  triune  creative  One. 
Faith  in  this  One  has  led  the  forces  of  civilization 
to  the  place  where  faith  now  becomes  manifest  in 
works  which  manifest  the  triune  body  in  the  earth 
of  our  understanding. 

The  first  whole  conception  of  life's  record  will 
be  the  conception,  not  of  the  man  and  the  woman, 
but  the  conception  of  the  Sons  of  Life. 

If  we  have  seen  the  law  we  will  here  see  defined 
the  two  positives  within  the  circle  of  the  earth  lying 
at  opposite  "ends"  of  the  diameter  of  the  circle  as 
the  Sons  of  the  Law.  Intelligence  will  define  these 
two  unto  us  as  two  which  were  positive  and  nega- 
tive before  they  were  seen  within  the  triune  body, 
and  as  positive  and  negative  were  male  and  female, 
but  which,  in  the  triune  body,  have  become  one 
which  is  three-in-one,  and,  in  this  becoming,  the  du- 
ality is  not  annihilated  but  enthroned  and  estab- 
lished forevermore,  sustaining  the  whole  earth.  We 
further  see  that  for  this  individualization  of  two  by 
the  central  triune  one,  the  duality  exists  and  finds 
its  destiny.  In  this  triune  individualization  we 
have  "the  neutral  pair"  of  the  regeneration,  which 
science  is  today  defining  for  the  world. 

Nations  are  yet  ignorant  of  "the  nature  use" 
of  the  woman.  That  "use"  they  have  conceived 
to  be  female  function.  Now  female  function  is  the 
negative  function,  in  which  the  female  is  receptive 
to  the  male,  dominated  by  the  male.  The  regen- 


INTRODUCTION  21 

erative  function  knows  neither  male  nor  female,  but 
two  receptive  to  the  Law  and  two  negative  to  the 
Law,  receiving  life  from  the  central  fount  of  life. 
The  regenerative  "use"  of  the  negative  of  life  is  to 
rise,  in  the  law,  to  be  a  son  of  the  Law  within  the 
triune  body  of  life.  The  female  is  receptive  to  the 
male,  but  the  equal  opposite  sons  of  the  Law  are 
receptive  to  the  Law. 

Regeneration  has  to  do  with  change ;  generation 
with  death.  A  regenerative  era  will  not  kill,  but 
kill  by  a  change  our  ideas  of  words,  which  were 
originally  born  of  forces.  The  woman  is  a  rela- 
tion of  force,  defined  by  a  relation  to  the  Law.  The 
woman  cannot  be  defined  as  a  woman  in  a  scientific 
understanding  of  life.  "The  woman"  and  "the 
son"  are  words  of  universal  triune  life.  The  rela- 
tion of  manhood  and  womanhood  to  the  universal 
words  the  woman  and  the  son,  is  a  natural  prob- 
lem. The  regeneration  will  touch  the  heart  of 
things ;  it  will  therefore  define  the  universal  mean- 
ing of  the  word.  The  "woman"  is  a  word  and  cov- 
ers male  and  female  in  the  triune  body.  The  word 
"son"  covers  male  and  female,  covers  manhood  and 
womanhood.  The  Son  of  God  is  a  triune  figure, 
not  of  original  genesis  conception,  but  one  which 
has  "become."  Humanity,  in  the  understanding 
of  the  triune  one,  is  the  Son  of  God.  The  male  is 
not  the  one  son  of  the  Law,  the  female  is  not  the 
one  son  of  the  law,  but  the  male  and  the  female,  be- 
coming one  in  the  Law,  manifesting  the  opposite 
ends  of  the  earth,  in  that  becoming  are  given  the 
one  dual  triune  name,  the  Son. 


22  INTRODUCTION 

The  male-female  exists  for  the  neutral-triune 
pair,  in  positive  expression.  The  son  is  born  of  the 
woman  and  the  Law.  The  woman  is  a  body  of  uni- 
versal force;  and  nations,  and  churches,  and  peo- 
ples, and  manhood  and  womanhood  have  forgotten 
the  "nature  use  of  the  woman."  That  "use"  is  to 
be  the  Mother  of  One  which  is  three-in-one,  a  Law 
of  all  elements.  Ignorant  of  this  use,  man  has  con- 
ceived that  he  could  sustain  the  creation  without 
the  use  of  the  woman  in  the  Law.  He  has  therefore 
taxed  her,  instead  of  seeing  the  triune  tax  laid 
upon  her  by  nature.  In  the  triune  body  of  force 
we  see  taxation  upon  two  to  sustain  one  which  is 
three,  not  one  which  is  the  positive  male.  To  learn 
the  use  of  the  negative  elements  of  life  is  to  use 
these  elements  for  the  ascension  of  triune  life,  for 
these  two  must  become  sons  in  the  triune  one. 
The  male,  to  inherit  the  promise  of  conception  with 
the  Law,  becomes  negative  to  the  Law  to  rise  with 
the  woman  as  the  glorified  Son  of  life.  Ignorance 
of  this  primitive  fact  has  thrust  womanhood  into 
that  darkness  from  which  she  is  today  emerging. 
The  business  of  the  hour  is  to  learn  "the  nature 
use  of  the  woman"  that  we  may  become  the  Sons  of 
the  Law. 

There  is  a  truth  of  man's  conception,  and  a 
truth  of  God,  and  the  truth  of  God  is  the  truth  of 
nature.  We  have  "changed  the  truth  of  God  into 
a  lie  ...  leaving  the  natural  use  of  the  woman, 
burned  in  their  lust  one  toward  another:  men  with 
men  working  that  which  is  unseemly,  and  receiving 


INTRODUCTION  23 

in  themselves  that  recompense  of  their  error  which 
was  meet."  Oh,  drink  no  more  water,  but  take  a 
little  wine  out  of  the  Book  of  Life,  and  live! 

Now  water  is  the  generative  word  of  beginnings. 
Wine  is  the  word  of  the  regeneration,  and  today 
water  is  to  become  wine,  six  vessels  are  to  be  filled, 
the  woman  of  Law  is  to  be  seen  in  Cana,  the  world 
is  to  drink,  and  know  the  living  fountain  from 
which  springeth  life  more  abundant.  The  world 
may  now  manifest  the  body  of  the  triune  one  upon 
earth,  in  all  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

To  hold  the  triune  Law  to  a  manifestation  upon 
the  earth  in  the  flesh  of  nations  governments  are 
conceived  and  given  the  universal  dual  inherent 
forces  of  conception  within  the  body  politic.  All 
organic  involution  is  dual  for  the  triune  one.  Na- 
tions persistently  ignorant  of  the  law  of  balance, 
which  is  the  law  of  sustained  creation,  are  doomed 
to  natural  death.  "And  I  have  no  pleasure  in  the 
death  of  him  that  dieth,  saith  the  Lord  God: 
Wherefore  turn  yourselves  and  live  ye." 

Womanhood  is  not  enfranchised  by  force. 
Woman  is  enfranchised  by  understanding.  To  ap- 
ply the  vote  of  men  to  the  enfranchisement  of  the 
triune  body  of  the  Law  is  imbecile.  Woman  is  en- 
franchised by  interpretation  of  the  triune  One.  The 
republic  holds  a  Court  within  its  body,  the  business 
of  which  is  interpretation  of  the  law  of  original  cre- 
ation. Now  interpretation  does  not  ask  what  did 
the  Founder  mean?  It  knows  the  triune  one  of 
universal  foundation.  It  knows  the  one  rule  of 
three — It  is  the  Nine. 


24  INTRODUCTION 

In  the  first  triune  one  a  scientific  age  will  dis- 
cover a  scale  of  harmony  reaching  through  the 
earth  from  center  to  circumference, — a  scale  reach- 
ing from  C — to — C  under  a  Seven  law  covering  an 
era  of  evolution  from  One  to  Nine. 

Dante  says  that  Beatrice — the  woman  of  earth's 
Paradise — is  accompanied  forever  by  the  number 
Nine,  the  fulfillment  of  Three,  and  the  interpreta- 
tion of  three-in-one. 

Now  where  magnetic  dominance  is,  the  three- 
in-one  involution  of  life  find  no  expression  from 
the  midst  of  dual  opposites.  The  nation  has  sold 
itself  to  the  principle  of  dominance. 

In  the  creative  line  of  force  where  Three  are 
found  agreeing  in  one  and  Three  bearing  record 
to  the  heaven  of  Law  as  One,  the  woman  arm  of 
the  Three  and  the  center  between  opposites  is  uni- 
versally ignored.  Thus  when  the  law  is  lost,  man 
is  lost  and  the  triune  body  of  life  is  unmanifest  in 
the  earth  of  affairs.  The  business  of  the  hour  is 
restoration  of  the  woman  to  restore  the  triune  bal- 
ance which  supports  the  whole  earth,  or  the  earth 
passes  away  for  re-birth.  Not  alone  at  the  ballot 
box  is  her  restoration  to  be  made,  but  in  the  brain 
of  the  race.  Until  the  triune  center  is  restored  the 
dual  arms  of  The  Law  are  lost  in  the  chaos  of  ele- 
mental beginnings  where  darkness  reigns  where 
light  has  been  ordained.  In  the  triune  center,  born 
of  opposites  (born  of  heaven  and  of  earth)  lies  the 
whole  life  of  the  regeneration,  which  is  normally 
conceived  in  the  woman  by  the  Law  which  is  three- 
in-one. 


INTRODUCTION  25 

The  triune  center  becomes  in  natural  order  the 
regenerative  head  of  the  world,  the  head  of  the 
woman  which  is  Christ.  "For  this  cause  ought  the 
woman  to  have  power  on  her  head  because  of  the 
angels."  Now  the  angels  of  nature  are  the  posi- 
tive opposite  arms  of  life  in  the  triune  body  of 
force.  Figures  which  are  neither  male  nor  female 
but  Sons  of  the  One  Law,  and  these  angels  move  in 
that  Fourth  dimension  where  there  is  no  dominance, 
only  the  static  peace, — the  ether  peace. 

There  is  all  the  difference  as  to  analysis  whether 
the  duality  lies  within  or  without  the  divine  triune 
body  of  creative  force.  In  the  whole  triune  body 
there  is  neither  male  nor  female.  In  the  dual  body 
of  energy  there  is  male  and  female.  To  enter  the 
body  of  triune  life  is  to  enter  the  body  of  God  and 
be  at  peace.  Regeneration  lies  not  in  creation  of 
generative  forms,  but  in  awakening  from  sleep. 
Now  that  awakening  will  be  an  awakening  "in  thy 
likeness."  This  is  the  day,  the  appointed  day 
when  we  dead  awake. 

The  whole  struggle  of  nature  is  to  reveal  the 
three-in-one  Law  of  Life.  Nature  can  reveal  her 
law  only  by  the  creation  of  a  figure  which  is 
naught,  but  which  is  also  the  figure  of  the  whole 
earth.  Thought  will  keep  this  original  figure,  its 
diameter  and  circle,  ever  in  the  mind's  eye.  Here 
Thought  will  see  the  "ends  of  the  earth"  and  a 
relative  center  in  the  "ends."  The  first — and  per- 
petual— sin  of  nations  and  men  lies  in  the  killing 
of  the  brother  opposite.  Of  two  positives  one  in- 


26  INTRODUCTION 

stinctively  kills  the  other  in  all  primitive  life  mani- 
festation. And  now  we  strike  the  Cain- Abel  law  of 
nature,  of  which  we  will  here  speak.  Cain-Abel 
are  the  two  sons  gotten  of  the  Law.  The  blood  of 
Abel  "crieth  from  the  ground"  opposite,  in  all  the 
circles  of  life.  Of  every  duality  one  kills  the  other 
until  a  redemption  from  the  original  sin  is  seen 
in  a  triune  One  which  declares  a  sustained  balance 
in  a  three-in-one  involution.  The  primitive  vision 
seeing  only  dual  relation  kills  one.  This  killing  is 
an  original  sin  of  the  original  law;  the  dominant 
sin  of  this  day.  Against  this  sin  the  voice  of  the 
law  is  crying  from  the  ground.  When  the  opposite 
son  is  killed  the  woman  and  the  triune  one  is  killed. 
The  killing  of  Abel  in  all  the  earth  becomes  the 
killing  of  the  Law  at  Golgotha.  .  .  . 

Inherent  in  the  mind  of  man  lies  the  honest  con- 
viction that  he,  by  decree  of  nature,  is  the  one  su- 
preme, of  a  dual  humanity,  at  the  ballot  box  of 
government.  With  this  conviction  lies  another, 
namely,  that  the  ballot  box  belongs  to  individual 
nations.  The  ballot  box  belongs  to  Life.  The  life 
of  a  nation  belongs  to  the  ballot  box.  The  problem 
becomes  then,  What  is  the  life  of  the  nation?  Is 
Life  to  build  the  republic?  If  so,  a  scientific  age 
will  question  life  and  not  the  interpretation  which 
primitive  impulse  has  put  upon  life. 

The  one  assertion,  which  passes  for  argument,  in 
spite  of  an  advancing  civilization  upon  nature  lines 
is  the  dogged  statement  of  the  opposition : ;  The 
whole  proposition  is  against  nature.  The  ballot 


INTRODUCTION  27 

box  belongs,  not  to  Man,  but  to  masculine  man.  A 
distinguished  member  of  the  English  Parliament 
has  given  a  most  astounding  reason  for  withhold- 
ing the  ballot  from  woman,  namely,  Woman  is 
woman  and  cannot  be  man.  This  sentiment  seems 
to  embody  the  belief  that  woman's  effort  to  secure 
representation  at  the  ballot  box  is  a  feminine  effort 
to  usurp  a  natural  right  which  is  permanently  mas- 
culine. 

Ex-president  Roosevelt,  the  magnetic  authority 
of  the  will  of  the  people,  said  in  a  letter  to  the  Rev. 
Lyman  Abbott,  written  for  publication,  "Equality 
I  have  never  considered  to  be  identity  of  function." 

Woman  demands  the  function  of  balance.  In 
that  demand  she  is  asking  Man  to  enter  the  way 
of  life,  which  is  an  arch-way,  born  of  two  to  pro- 
duce One  which  is  whole.  In  this  way  lies  a  mani- 
festation of  "identity  of  function"  between  dual 
pillars,  each  whole,  opposite,  and  equal, — each 
finding  the  other  in  a  problem  of  relation  to  a  third, 
each  whole  in  the  self  to  support  a  stone  above, 
which  is  a  key  to  the  universal  way  of  life.  A  uni- 
versal way  will  define  the  social-political  way.  Life 
has  plan.  That  plan  formed  the  republic  that  the 
republic  shall  know  and  honor  its  creator.  Woman 
cannot  choose  the  battlefield  of  this  conflict.  Men 
choose  the  plane  upon  which  this  battle  is  to  be 
fought.  His  choice  must  be  hers. 

The  womanhood  of  these  States  faces  this  prob- 
lem today  with  a  plea  to  manhood  that  her  cause 
be  arbitrated  upon  nature  ground  as  the  plea  of 


28  INTRODUCTION 

Life  and  Law.  She  brings  a  proposition  of  Life 
and  Law  to  construct  the  highway  which  is  the 
only  way  of  peace  and  victory.  A  way  in  which 
dominance  lies  dead  in  the  glory  of  One,  which  is 
three-in-one  manifest  in  two  equal  and  opposite 
to  be  square. 

Woman  does  not  love  war,  she  loves  life  and 
Law  by  instinct.  If  forced  to  fight  upon  this  soil, 
as  her  fathers  fought,  for  the  universal  life  prin- 
ciple of  the  "way"  she  is  ready,  even  as  they  were 
ready,  to  lay  down  life  for  Life;  she  is  ready  for 
that  sacrifice  of  self  which  lies  normally  in  the 
morning  of  every  new  era  of  Law.  Her  plea  to 
manhood  today  is,  that  he  will  protect  her  from 
this  sacrifice  by  sacrificing  himself,  not  unto  her, 
but  unto  the  Law.  The  ground  upon  which  this 
problem  stands  is  holy  ground — the  ground  of  cre- 
ation. 

Man  ascends  as  Law  ascends.  Man  cannot  cre- 
ate. He  is  dual  that  Law  may  create  him.  Man's 
"power  lies  in  his  willingness  to  follow  the  Law,  es- 
tablishing the  relations  of  inherent  forces  which 
form  the  creative  plane  for  life  manifestation  of 
the  Law  of  creation.  What  is  this  creative  plane 
which  it  is  man's  to  form  for  life?  Is  it  a  physical 
plane  ?  Can  it  be  seen  by  the  senses  ?  Is  it  a  posi- 
tive ?  Is  it  a  negative  ?  Nowhere  in  nature  can  the 
positive  create.  Nowhere  in  nature  can  the  nega- 
tive create.  The  creative  plane  is  the  salt  of  all 
the  earth,  the  great  neutral  of  life.  And  the  neu- 
tral plane,  is  it  a  physical  manifestation?  It  is  a 


INTRODUCTION  29 

spiritual,  physical  manifestation  born  of  physical 
force.  It  is  an  unseen  spiritual  region  lying  for- 
ever between  two;  a  creative  plane  formed  by 
two,  a  plane  unseen,  spiritual,  sure,  enthroned 
only  by  the  eye  of  reason  in  the  Law. 

Can  two  positives  form  this  plane?  Nowhere  in 
nature.  Positives  have  attempted  to  form  this 
plane  at  the  ballot  box  of  life.  Wherever  positive 
force  seeks  to  be  creative  plane,  that  activity  is 
manifest  which  is  called  degenerate.  The  creative 
plane  lies  forever  between  opposites.  Dante  de- 
fines this  unseen  area  of  spiritual  force  as  "the  land 
'twixt  either  Feltro,"  a  land  manifest  only  where 
Law  is  obeyed  and  the  triune  One  honored. 

The  creative  plane  of  physical  action — is  it  in 
the  left  hand,  or  in  the  right?  It  is  a  land  in  the 
midst,  over  and  in  two,  manifest  by  virtue  of  two, 
in  opposite  function ;  a  land  seen  by  the  eye  of  rea- 
son, a  spiritual  physical  neutral  dimension  over 
and  in  all. 

'Now  we  are  dwellers  of  Nineveh  when  we  cannot 
see  this  land.  And  Nineveh  is  a  great  city  in  the 
national  intelligence  of  the  earth.  Today  many 
are  peopled  there,  but  we  must  go  to  Nineveh  to 
obey  the  Law.  Until  we  see  the  creative  plane  ly- 
ing in  the  midst  of  God's  eternal  right  and  left 
hand  in  all  the  earth,  we  are  the  ignorant  dwellers 
of  Nineveh,  "wherein  are  more  than  six  score  thou- 
sand persons  that  cannot  discern  between  their 
right  hand  and  their  left,  and  also  much  cattle." 
"And  Resen  between  Nineveh  and  Calah ;  the  same 
is  a  great  city"  .... 


30  INTRODUCTION 

The  nation  upon  election  day  becomes  a  body  of 
elemental  force,  seeking  creative  center.  On  this 
day  the  nation's  life  force  is  called  into  activity  for 
creation.  Force  naturally  seeks  a  creative  center. 
On  this  creative  day  force  is  to  be  centered  at  a 
place  within  the  nation's  body,  a  place  which  is 
governed  not  by  party  or  by  personality,  but  by 
a  Law. 

What  will  shall  be  reverenced  here  by  the  will  of 
the  people?  What  manifestation  of  life  shall  the 
ballot  box  record?  A  cross  of  opposites  with  the 
Law,  or  an  activity  which  represents  a  self  center 
among  male  elements?  The  voice  of  the  ballot  box 
will  be  the  voice  of  the  holy  One  only  when  Law 
has  been  honored  there  in  the  massing  of  forces. 

We  know  little  of  nature.  While  she  has  re- 
vealed little  of  herself  to  us  this  we  do  know  and 
this  we  have  heard  her  speak  with  no  faltering 
voice  the  earth  around;  Two  opposites  shall  ap- 
pear in  the  same  center  to  be  counted  and  named 
wherever  life  is  to  manifest  creative  activity: 
and  these  Two  shall  appear  in  one  center,  not  for 
"identity  of  function,"  but  for  equal,  opposite, 
"function."  Thus,  says  nature.  The  ballot  belongs 
to  woman  that  man  may  be  held  in  natural  relation 
to  Law  for  creation,  else  he  naturally  usurps  the 
law's  center  in  the  self  and  thus  defame  the  nat- 
ural body. 

Woman  is  today  approaching  the  ballot  boxes 
of  civilization  under  the  protection  of  nature,  a 
protection  which  knows  no  defeat.  Here  man  has 


INTRODUCTION  31 

usurped  her  place  to  the  limit.  Here  man  may  no 
longer  seek  to  be  his  own  opposite  in  the  Law. 

The  Two  Witnesses  of  life  shall  approach  cre- 
ation in  all  the  earth  to  give  expression  to  the  tri- 
une body  of  life.  Two,  in  all  nature,  are  related 
to  give  body  to  the  One  Law.  Man  will  not  create 
the  regeneration.  Woman  will  not  create  the  re- 
generation. Man  and  woman  will  create  the  body 
of  relative  life  in  which  Life  manifests  as  the  re- 
generation. Life  creates.  Man  establishes  law- 
ful, whole,  creative  relations  with  and  for  the  Law. 
Thus  Man  is  not  Law  but  partaker  of  life  with 
Law.  Without  the  life  which  is  given  by  the  Law 
his  heritage  is  death.  The  problem  of  equality  is 
not  a  dual  functional  problem,  but  a  problem  of 
dual  relation  to  One,  in  One.  Primitive  under- 
standing will  ever  relate  two  things,  one  to  the 
other. 

The  self-evident  truth  of  the  triune  body  is: 
Things  equal  to  the  same  thing  are  equal  to  each 
other.  Now  the  center  between  opposites  is  the 
first-third-same  thing,  which  sustains  two,  estab- 
lishing "things"  within  its  own  body  of  life.  To 
know  this  "third  day"  of  nature  is  to  know  the 
Lord  of  the  resurrection.  The  day  man  sees  this 
central  third  law  is  a  resurrection  day,  to  him. 
Now  the  "third  day"  is  universally  ignored.  Day 
when  Law  ascends.  Day  of  victory  over  death. 
Day  when  rocks  are  rent  in  twain.  Now  the  "third 
day"  of  natural  law  lies  in  the  midst  of  two,  to 
write  each  opposite  "thing"  in  all  the  universe, 


32  INTRODUCTION 

equal  in  the  same  thing.  The  third  day  lies  in  the 
midst  of  two,  to  write  its  two  opposite  arms,  not  as 
one,  or  as  two,  but  to  write  each  "end"  of  the  circle, 

from  the  center,  as,  3 3.  In  this  writing  each 

receives  the  triune  name  which  is  "my  name."  Not 
until  this  equal,  central,  opposite  division  of  the 
duality  is  seen,  in  union,  can  the  regeneration  be- 
gin to  manifest  the  earth,  at  33.  Not  until 
this  law  is  seen  can  six  vessels  be  seen  filled  with 
wine  from  the  fountain  of  the  midst,  and  the 
mother  of  the  regeneration  there. 

Man  will  keep  the  figure  of  his  original  naught 
before  him.  This  figure  is  a  creative  symbol,  it  is 
the  earth.  Man  will  thus  sow  the  normal  seed  of 
Thought,  creating  globular  worlds  within  worlds 
to  arrive  at  whole  facts. 

From  opposite  ends  of  the  circle  of  the  earth 
woman  approaches  the  creative  centers  of  life,  to 
meet  the  opposite  arm  of  life;  not,  as  male  and 
female,  but  as  sons  of  God,  before  the  throne  of 
life,  while  Love  declares  unto  the  world,  Now  are 
ye  the  sons  of  God. 

The  manhood  of  this  soil,  seeing  the  Law,  will 
talk  no  more  of  "identity  of  function,"  no  more  of 
the  equality  of  two  things.  Man,  seeing  the  equal- 
ity of  nature,  will  seek  to  establish  that  equality, 
and  not  his  own  primitive  outlook  upon  equality. 
Seeing  the  One  Law,  he  will  no  longer  see  woman 
in  relation  to  himself.  He,  looking  at  the  Law, 
will  see  himself  as  the  one  to  give  birth  to  the  Law 
through  her,  to  become  with  her  the  triune  Son  of 


INTRODUCTION  33 

God.  She  then  becomes  to  him  his  brother,  his  sis- 
ter, his  wife,  and  his  one  Law.  In  and  through  her 
he  is  united  in  conscious  understanding  to  his 
Maker  and  Lord  as  the  whole  spirit  of  truth  de- 
scends upon  him.  The  woman  has  become  again 
the  star  of  his  life.  Seeing  her,  he  leaves  hell  and 
purgatory  far  behind,  ascending  to  that  heaven  of 
regeneration  where  a  new  leadership  is  seen  de- 
scending upon  the  world.  And  is  this  new  leader- 
ship the  womanhood  of  the  world?  Woman  has  no 
right  to  leadership  anywhere  in  all  the  earth.  Is 
man  then  to  be  again  the  dominant  one  upon  the 
throne  of  civilization?  Nowhere  in  life  has  man 
the  right  to  lead  or  be  the  dominant.  Who  then  is 
the  new  leader  of  life  in  the  morning  of  a  new  day  ? 
The  Law  strong  and  mighty!  In  the  dawning 
new  era  Life  is  to  be  lifted  up  and  Law  is  to  be 
king  upon  the  throne  of  Life. 

The  glory  of  the  new  democracy  is  that  it  will 
develop  a  manhood  and  a  womanhood  which  cannot 
be  led  and  which  will  not  lead.  Having  seen  the 
woman  within  the  triune  body  of  life  the  new  era 
has  begun  its  reign  in  the  brain  of  a  race.  Having 
seen  the  Law  man  and  nation  stand  already  at  the 
gate  of  the  Paradise  of  regeneration  to  write  with 
Dante : 

Thus  far  hath  one  of  steep  Parnassus  brows 
Sufficed  me;  henceforth  there  is  need  of  both 
For  my  remaining  enterprise.

And  I  turned,  and  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  looked, 
and  behold,  there  came  four  chariots  out  from  be- 
tween two  mountains;  and  the  mountains  were 
mountains  of  brass. — Zecariah  vi,  1. 


TWO  MOUNTAINS   AND  FOUR   CHARIOTS 

"There  can  be  no  salvation  for  these  states  without 
innovators — without  free  tongues  and  ears  will- 
ing to  hear  the  tongues: 

And  I  announce  as  the  glory  of  these  states,  that 
they  respectfully  listen  to  propositions,  reforms, 
fresh  views  and  doctrines, 

Each  age  with  its  own  growth." — Walt   Whitman. 

In  the  place  where  the  Highest  beginneth  to  shew 
his  city,  there  can  no  man's  building  be  able

A  new  spirit  is  among  us.  A  spirit  giving  birth 
to  a  force  which  we  recognize  as  a  creative  force, 
the  creative  impulse  of  which  is  regeneration.  We 
discern  this  presence  today  within  the  body  of  all 
thought  and  action.  With  this  new  spirit  a  new 
intelligence  has  appeared,  an  intelligence  which  is 
asking  imperatively  of  state  and  nation  the  pas- 
sage of  prohibitive  laws  which  shall  place  authora- 
tive  check  upon  elemental  appetite  in  the  whole 
sphere  of  national  life. 

And  what  is  an  elemental  appetite?  An  elemen- 
tal appetite  is  an  expression  of  natural  force  which 
is  dominated  by  a  primitive  mode  of  motion.  And 
what  is  the  primitive  mode?  The  primitive  mode  is 
that  magnetic  motion  which  forms  the  center  in 
the  self,  and  which,  because  of  inherent  dominant 
characteristic,  can  reveal  nothing  to  the  intelli- 
gence of  another  mode  and  another  law  which  lies 
opposite,  another  which  is  discovered  today  and

known  as  an  ether  law,  revealing  a  Fourth  dimen- 
sion in  space;  another  born  with  the  original  law, 
but  not  revealed  until  the  first  has  arrived  at  a 
limit  of  growth,  or  of  physical  expansion :  another 
born  within  the  original  dominant  magnetic  one 
as  an  equal  opposite  manifestation. 

Of  this  "other"  the  primitive  elemental  motion 
and  law  is  naturally  ignorant.  All  personal  ele- 
mental expression  takes  on  the  characteristics  of 
the  elemental  law. 

Two  will  be  found  in  all  nature,  having  equal 
origin  in  common  center,  to  establish  common 
center  from  opposite  points  of  the  same  circumfer- 
ence. The  primitive  one  gazing  upward  loses 
sight  of  its  own  opposite  life  which  is  manifesting 
through  the  earth,  establishing  from  an  opposite 
position  the  center  of  the  earth.  Thus  the  mag- 
netic law  is  ignorant  of  the  opposite  ether  until  a 
limit  of  magnetic  expansion  is  pronounced  by  na- 
ture. That  limit  arrives  when  life  thrusts  forth 
from  the  side  of  the  first  its  other  as  law. 

Nature  has  plan  which  she  pushes  from  earth  to 
heaven  and  from  heaven  to  earth  till  the  circle  of 
the  earth  is  whole  within  and  without.  Nature's 
Dual  Law  and  dual  mode  of  motion  is  taken  into 
account  before  One  stands  forth  as  the  Law  of 
Life.  The  primitive  intelligence  is  universally  ig- 
norant of  the  one  of  the  midst.  Of  the  eternal 
Two  witnesses  in  all  the  earth,  the  primitive  eye 
will  discern  and  enthrone  but  one.  By  the  enthrone- 
ment of  one  of  Two  Witnesses,  omnipresent  in  all

manifestation,  the  left  arm  of  the  law,  or  other  side, 
becomes  impotent,  on  every  plane,  and  the  one  of 
the  midst  is  unknown.  From  this  impotent  state 
the  world  is  today  emerging  in  every  phase  of  ac- 
tivity. 

The  primitive  appetite  demands  all  as  its  share. 
The  primitive  is  the  first.  Now  the  first  primitive 
elemental  manifestation  is  the  positive  one.  In  all 
creation,  in  all  affairs,  in  all  understanding,  in  all 
time,  this  positive  reigns  first.  The  first  age  is  a 
fire  reign,  in  thought,  in  appetite,  in  theology,  in 
government,  in  all  creation.  The  first  age  evolves 
the  fire-eater  only.  The  original  appetite  of  the 
primitive  law  is  primitive  and  elemental  wherever 
it  may  appear,  doing  all  things  to  the  limit,  re- 
vealing nothing,  in  any  of  its  manifestations,  of 
that  plane  within  its  own  expansive  being,  marked 
by  law  as  "the  limit  of  growth  period." 

The  desire  of  men  to  possess  the  whole  of  the 
ballot  box,  and  their  determination  to  be  the  vote 
of  women  as  well  as  of  men,  is  a  natural  expression, 
which  must  today  be  related  to  the  primitive  law 
and  to  the  elemental  appetite  of  that  law,  the  qual- 
ity of  which  is  dominance  and  expansion,  by  virtue 
of  inherent  automatic  mode  of  motion.  The  domi- 
nant command  of  elemental  law  is  "more." 

The  original  dominant  element  of  the  magnetic 
law  is  magnetic  force.  The  primitive  appetite  is 
under  the  magnetic  law.  The  primitive  positive 
one,  under  the  law  claiming  all,  must  take  as  his 
own  all  the  characteristics  of  the  primitive  law. 


40  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

These  characteristics  become  the  natural  dominant 
motions  of  primitive  actions.  To  know  what  the 
primitive  will  in  thought  and  actions  must  be,  we 
study,  not  the  individual  expression,  but  the  univer- 
sal law  which  is  the  dominant  of  individual  expres- 
sion. The  whole  struggle  of  nations  and  of  men 
is  a  struggle  to  be  free  from  the  original  law  and 
its  original  sin  of  dominance.  In  this  struggle  na- 
ture is  upon  the  side  of  man.  The  primitive  law 
is  the  dominant  of  all  primitive  construction,  in 
both  thought  and  action.  The  one  result  of  primi- 
tive sin  is  ignorance  of  the  other  self  opposite 
which  enthrones  the  midst  in  two. 

The  one  opposite  is  the  involution.  The  involu- 
tion is  the  woman,  the  west  lying  opposite  the  east. 
The  involution  is  the  left  hand,  or  the  left  pierced 
side  of  Law.  In  every  relation  of  the  Law  we  find 
the  east  is  the  man,  the  first  positive  expression. 
In  all  primitive  expression  the  law  and  the  form  of 
the  involution  is  obscured.  In  all  primitive  gov- 
ernment the  left  is  first  bound.  All  involved  forces 
are  the  woman  forces  of  creation  or  the  negatives 
of  evolution  which  must  bide  their  time  for  posi- 
tive equality.  These  are  the  western  forces  of  the 
law.  All  national  problems  will  find  their  "Isle  of 
Bliss"  in  their  western  outlook.  Under  the  primi- 
tive law  the  west  finds  no  dominant  expression 
until  the  east  has  reached  its  limit.  All  problems 
are  to  be  squared  within  the  circle  of  life  by  a  uni- 
versal law  which  knows  no  deviation  of  plan.  The 
east,  the  first  magnet,  is  under  the  law  of  limita- 
tion. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  4-1 

The  primitive  law,  like  man,  is  dual.  The  first 
dominant  motion  of  the  primitive  law  is  a  pendu- 
lum motion  of  opposites  forced  by  one  arm  of  the 
duality:  a  to  and  fro  movement  of  a  dual  force, 
a  good  and  evil  problem,  an  east  and  west,  north 
and  south,  a  rich  and  poor,  saint  and  sinner,  labor 
and  capital,  man  and  woman  question,  with  no 
knowledge  of  and  no  appeal  to  the  One  Law  which 
walketh  in  the  midst  sustained  by  two.  This  primi- 
tive expression  of  law  is  udder  the  reign  of  limita- 
tion. Another  law  is  discovered  under  and  above  the 
law  of  the  eternal  duality.  This,  the  second  birth  of 
law,  brings  a  new  mode  of  motion.  No  longer  the 
pendulum  swing  from  one  arm  of  dual  force  to  the 
other.  A  new  law  brings  a  new  relation  of  oppo- 
sites which  forms  the  square.  A  second  law  de- 
clares the  saint  and  sinner  one,  good  and  evil  equal- 
ized and  related  to  the  Life  of  the  one  in  the  midst : 
a  law  which  enthrones  the  duality  in  a  "square  dei- 
fic,"  which  square  is  one  neither  male  nor  female, 
bond  nor  free,  rich  nor  poor,  saint  nor  sinner.  This 
new  law  and  its  new  relative  eye  brings  the  up- 
heavals of  the  last  days  of  the  primitive  dominance. 
Under  this  new  law  nations  and  men  bring  "heave 
.offering,"  "which  is  waved"  and  which  is  "heaved 
up."  Here  all  understanding  and  all  life  is  lifted 
up  to  fulfill  the  commands  of  a  second  birth  of  law 
from  the  side  of  the  first.  The  first  business  of 
birth  in  a  new  law  as  a  rebirth  of  relations. 

Out  of  the  side  of  the  primitive  magnetic  law 
there  is  born  today,  in  a  natural  order,  the  law  of 


42  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  Ether.  All  prophecy  and  interpretation  must 
rest  upon  knowledge  of  natural  law  alone.  The 
birth  of  another  law  which  centralizes  and  en- 
thrones two  appears  in  an  order  of  time  at  a  limit 
of  growth  period.  The  discovery  of  the  ether  has 
appeared  on  time.  The  new  spirit  and  its  under- 
standing is  to  be  dependent  for  illumination  upon 
natural  law. 

Upon  all  planes  of  life  the  advent  of  the  second 
part  of  the  duality  which  establishes  the  first  by  the 
third,  is  obscured.  All  primitive  understanding 
upon  all  planes  of  lif  e  obscures  the  One  triune  Law. 
With  the  birth  of  the  still  unknown  ether  appears 
womanhood  in  all  the  earth,  under  the  protection 
of  the  ether  law,  demanding  recognition  through- 
out the  world  by  the  side  of  man  in  the  govern- 
ments of  life.  The  law  of  the  involution,  or  the 
growth  within  the  body,  is  the  law  of  the  woman, 
and  the  universal  law  of  the  woman  is  the  univer- 
sal law  of  the  ether.  The  law  of  external  expan- 
sion is  the  law  of  evolution.  Evolution  is  the  man 
of  that  dual  relativity  which  is  involution  and  evo- 
lution. 

Throughout  our  discussion  the  man  shall  mean 
the  magnetic  law  of  the  evolution  and  the  woman 
shall  be  the  ether  law  or  the  involution.  The  ether 
must  be  related  to  that  dual  twentieth  century 
which  is  the  "third  day"  of  a  Christian  era.  The 
twentieth  century  has  already  been  named  the 
ether  or  the  woman  century.  Through  the  body  of 
the  woman  the  triune  body  of  the  One  law  is  es- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  43 

tablished.  The  ether  comes  to  establish  the  square 
within  the  circle  by  revealing  a  new  third  first  prin- 
cilpe,  which  is  the  moving  principle  of  life,  and  the 
fifth  principle  of  the  square :  the  One  of  all.  Now 
the  fifth  principle  of  the  square  is  its  central  point, 
born  of  the  eternal  duality,  a  fifth  under  the  one 
Triune  Law  of  every  side  of  the  square. 

The  fundamental  of  the  present  uprising  in  the 
womanhood  of  the  world  must  be  related  to  the  up- 
rising of  an  ether  law,  to  which  manhood  and 
womanhood  are  equally  related.  The  first  domi- 
nant, in  all  parts  of  life,  is  naturally  the  man,  by 
which  we  mean  the  universal  positive.  The  domi- 
nance of  the  positive  magnetic  law  is  at  an  end  in 
all  civilization,  that  dominance  died  with  the  dis- 
covery of  the  ether. 

The  magnetic  law  is  the  controlling  law  during 
the  era  of  physical  evolution,  or  external  expan- 
sion. For  illumination  of  the  physical  magnetic 
law  we  have  the  symbol  of  its  whole  being,  the 
natural  magnet,  the  motion  of  which  is  a  to  and 
fro  motion,  forming  center  in  the  self,  gathering 
by  its  own  mode  of  motion,  fastening  to  its  own 
center  all  the  base  metals  of  nature,  rejecting  that 
metal  of  the  highest,  the  cosmic  metal  belonging 
to  the  law  of  the  ethers  for  the  building  of  "The 
Highest."  The  square  city  of  the  Law  is  street- 
paved  with  this  metal,  which  the  magnetic  law  re- 
jects by  its  own  inherent  primitive  mode  of  motion 
in  all  the  earth.  Now  gold  in  all  ages  has  been 
known  as  the  symbol  of  the  whole  Truth  of  the  One 


44  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Law.  What  it  is  in  symbol  it  is  in  fact.  Now  fact 
may  be  the  fact  of  the  magnetic  law,  and  as  such 
be  truth.  The  same  fact  in  relation  to  the  ether 
law  may  be  lie.  In  the  reign  of  the  One  Law,  the 
argument  may  "agree  with  thine  adversary 
quickly,"  for  here  all  fact  is  recognized  as  truth 
when  placed  in  whole  relation  to  Law.  Reason  to- 
day commands  the  reasoner  to  know,  he  may  no 
longer  guess.  That  which  is  natural  under  the 
magnetic  law  is  un-whole  and  unnatural  under  the 
ether  law.  During  the  generative  era  the  domi- 
nance of  the  man,  or  the  magnetic  relation  and 
motion,  is  primitive  and  natural.  During  the  re- 
generative era  relativities  are  changed.  Gold  lies 
outside  the  generative  magnetic  center.  The  civili- 
zation which  searches  for  gold  with  the  natural  law 
of  the  magnetic  era  is  neither  a  scientific  nor  an  in- 
telligent civilization. 

We  will  not  then  look  for  the  gold  of  the  law 
anywhere  in  nature  in  the  primitive  self-center 
formed  by  primitive  understanding,  under  the 
primitive  motion  of  dominance  which  ignores  the 
square  of  the  circle.  The  original  elemental  law, 
the  natural  word  of  which  is  "more,"  is  the  mag- 
netic generative  law.  Within  the  eternal  body  of 
this  law  creation  wrote  another,  which  has  now  ar- 
rived, born  at  the  limit  of  the  dominance  of  the 
first  from  the  side  of  the  first. 

With  the  birth  of  the  ether  law  appears  legiti- 
mately ten  thousand  problems  vexing  civilization: 
these  vexations  are  with  a  rising  law,  under  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  45 

protecting  arms  of  a  natural  resurrection.  From 
the  side  of  the  generative  law  appears  today  an- 
other, known  as  the  regenerative  law.  This  law  is 
the  way  which  giveth  light,  and  has  to  do  with  the 
metalic  ethers  of  nature  in  all  civilization.  This  re- 
generative law  is  now  discovered  by  science.  The 
birth  of  the  second  law  is  not  to  be  argued:  it  is 
here.  That  which  is  to  be  seen  by  the  new  reform- 
ation is  the  relation  of  "things"  and  movements 
and  problems  to  this  newly  discovered  rising  law. 

The  function  of  the  second  law,  born  of  the  first, 
existing  with  the  first,  is  the  establishing  of  triune 
relations  with  the  first.  A  universal  law  is  univer- 
sal. The  establishing  of  the  triune  relations  of  the 
dual  magnetic-ether  law  is  the  problem  of  civiliza- 
tion. One  is  no  longer  to  be  dominant  in  single  as- 
pect. One  is  wholly  dominant  only  in  its  dual  one 
aspect.  In  the  whole  universe  the  problem  has  be- 
come "the  neutral  pair."  Science  is  face  to  face 
with  the  dual  relations  of  one  in  all  the  universe. 
Law  is  itself  under  the  dual  Law  to  return  to  itself 
above,  as  a  Three  in  One  book  of  nature. 

The  generative  law,  with  its  fixed  magnetic  mo- 
tion— and  the  will  of  that  motion  to  gather  into  a 
self  center — has  planted  its  automatic  motion,  not 
upon  one  plane  of  life  manifestation,  but  upon  all 
the  planes  of  all  the  circles  of  its  sphere  of  activity. 

A  change  of  dominance,  even  in  law,  is  manifest 
in  all  nature.  Things  related  to  law  are  subject  to 
this  universal  change.  No  thing  may  escape. 
Every  place,  and  all  people  and  government  within 


46  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  places  where  the  primitive  law  has  planted  its 
dominant  motion,  are  under  this  universal  law  of 
change. 

Reform  today,  unrelated  to  nature  and  natural 
law,  is  futile.  Intelligence,  not  force,  is  the  leader 
in  the  natural  regeneration  fast  hastening  to  civili- 
zation. Force  cannot  conquer;  it  can  only  subdue 
and  obscure  the  One  reality. 

The  original  law  with  its  original  expansive  ap- 
petite has  planted  its  "to  and  fro"  motion  upon 
planes  of  mental  activity.  The  original  law  mani- 
fests in  all  nature,  as  a  dominant  control,  until  an 
hour  arrives  when,  upon  all  planes,  mental  as  well 
as  physical,  original  elements  are  seen  to  "break 
down"  in  an  order  of  Law.  This  breaking  down  of 
original  elements  is  not  conjecture,  but  is  today 
numbered  among  scientific  facts.  All  original  ele- 
mental conception  in  government,  art,  music, 
things,  is  under  the  law  of  this  scientific  "breaking 
down"  of  elements  which  are  written  as  the  first 
rulers;  or  the  "elder"  forces  of  creation.  A  new 
birth  in  literature,  art,  music,  science,  government, 
is  the  heritage  of  civilization  this  day. 

The  need  of  the  world  is  not  the  battleship.  The 
cry  of  life  is  for  that  vision  which  shall  relate  life 
to  an  ascending  law,  ignoring  personality, — a 
Law,  destined  to  be  victor  in  earth  and  in  the 
heaven  of  earth!  A  Law,  ruler  and  commander  in 
the  ascension  of  forces  which  we  call  the  awaken- 
ing woman.  The  breaking  down  of  "original  ele- 
ments," hitherto  considered  impossible  by  science  is 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  47 

seen  to  proceed  from  the  breaking  down  of  a  law 
at  a  "limit  of  growth  period." 

The  problem:  "Votes  for  Women"  is  a  proposi- 
tion of  Life  to  break  today  the  magnetic  center  of 
that  masculine  trust  in  votes  which  the  primitive 
law  has  established  in  governments.  The  political 
proposition  is  the  scientific  one.  To  break  the 
magnetic  center  in  one  of  a  duality,  establishing 
center  instead  with  one  opposite,  is  the  problem  of 
the  scientific  world:  a  problem  which  is  today  stat- 
ing itself  in  all  social  and  political  questions.  The 
secret  of  this  break  is  the  secret  of  chaining  the 
Satanic  motion  which  is  always  a  "to  and  fro" 
magnetic  swing,  forming  center  in  the  self,  ignor- 
ing one  opposite  (which  exists  to  reveal  the  Law 
of  the  midst)  always  "going  to  and  fro  in  the 
earth,  and  walking  up  and  down  in  it."  The  se- 
cret lies  in  that  Christ  principle  of  nature  "pass- 
ing and  going  through  all  things,"  the  figure  of 
which  is  the  Ether,  the  woman,  forever  with  the 
central  Law,  the  "Mother  of  all  living."  While 
the  generative  law  is  chained  to  the  magnetic  mo- 
tion the  regenerative  manifestation  belongs  to  the 
static  ethers.  The  suffrage  problem  stands  not 
alone,  it  is  related  to  an  uprising  throughout  na- 
ture. Not  a  woman  problem,  but  a  problem  of  the 
unveiling  of  the  universal  law  of  the  woman. 

Nature  gives  to  nations  today  a  new  law  of  exter- 
nal expansion  proceeding  from  within  out  and 
from  without  in:  a  whole  proposition.  Her  new 
law  reveals  and  commands  a  conception  of  life  with 


48  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

forces  involved.  She  gives  her  two  aspects  of  the 
One  law  to  all  creative  activity :  one  generative  and 
external;  the  other  regenerative  by  natural  func- 
tion proceeding  from  natural  relation.  The  rela- 
tions of  the  first  law  are  established  automatically ; 
the  relations  of  the  second  are  to  be  established  by 
intelligence  and  understanding.  Both  aspects  of 
law  reveal  natural  function,  each  an  expression  of 
inherent  creative  activity.  Each  projected  as  lines 
of  force  from  the  same  life  center, — lines  which 
proceed  from  the  same  center  of  the  same  sphere 
toward  opposite  points  of  the  same  circumference : 
one  line  moving  naturally  toward  the  east,  one 
moving  naturally  toward  the  west,  each  establish- 
ing the  diameter  of  a  circle ;  each  under  the  law  of 
a  center  limited  by  a  circumference ;  one  under  the 
law  of  the  east,  one  under  the  law  of  the  west ;  one 
under  the  law  of  the  positive,  or  the  man  of  force, 
one  under  the  law  of  the  woman.  As  the  east  or 
the  man,  the  magnetic  force,  has  limit  of  expansion 
in  the  light,  the  west,  the  woman,  the  ether  force 
has  limit  of  obscurity,  under  the  law. 

In  all  forms — and  all  forms  are  spherical — the 
east  is  the  symbol  word  of  the  magnetic  physical 
law.  The  place  has  law,  and  the  figure  in  the  place 
falls  under  the  law  of  the  place. 

The  east  expresses  first;  it  is  the  magnetic  mas- 
culine force,  the  first  natural  dominant,  and,  as  the 
•first  dominant  is  under  the  law  of  the  first  man,  to 
give  birth  to  one  from  the  side  which  shall  estab- 
lish the  Law. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  49 

The  east  is  the  first  natural  dominant  and  as 
such  is  under  the  masculine  law.  All  globular,  or 
cell  creations,  obey  this  order,  from  brains  to 
worlds.  The  east  has  the  first  magnetic  pull.  Not 
until  the  positive  of  the  primitive  relation  arrives 
at  the  limit  of  expansive  power  can  the  one  equal 
and  opposite  arise  to  conscious  power.  All  positive 
forces  are  first  drawn  eastward  during  the  genera- 
tive period,  and  westward  during  the  regenerative 
rise  of  law.  The  north  is  opened  by  way  of  the 
west. 

The  first  physical  manifestation  of  the  law  is  the 
generative  manifestation.  In  all  nature  the  gen- 
erative is  the  physical  law  which  expresses  first, — 
first  in  all  forms  of  thought,  first  in  all  govern- 
ments, in  all  religions,  in  all  science,  in  all  bodies. 
All  evolution  has  to  do,  first,  with  the  physical  gen- 
erative law  in  ignorance  of  an  involved  one,  to  be 
born  at  a  set  time,  as  an  involution  of  the  original 
law.  An  involution  from  which  the  first  manifes- 
tation must  accept  its  redemption  and  ascension. 

In  every  "garden"  of  law  the  original  one  is 
first  "planted  eastward."  Unseen  lines  of  dual 
force,  related  to  the  birth  of  the  regeneration, 
move  westward  from  the  same  center,  arriving  op- 
posite in  the  west,  to  arise  normally  from  the  west. 
The  west  is  the  first  executor  of  the  regeneration, 
by  a  nature  decree.  To  the  west  we  look  for  the 
natural  emancipation  of  the  Law.  O  Star  of  Em- 
pire, to  thine  own  self  be  true  this  day  of  Life! 

The  emancipation,  today,  naturally  belongs  to 


50  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

west  and  south  lying  opposite  east  and  north,  an 
emancipation  which  shall  break  the  magnetic  cen- 
ter of  elemental  expansive  appetites  in  brains  and 
bodies.  Manifestation  of  the  regenerative  law, 
based  always  upon  the  equality  of  the  involved 
with  the  evolved,  the  outer  with  the  inner,  comes 
normally  from  the  west  to  define  itself  unto  the 
east.  "So,"  says  the  Prophet  Isaiah,"  shall  they 
fear  the  name  of  the  Lord  from  the  west  and  his 
glory  from  the  rising  of  the  sun."  But,  "Lift  not 
up  your  horn  on  high :  speak  not  with  a  stiff  neck. 
For  promotion  cometh  neither  from  the  east,  nor 
from  the  west,  nor  from  the  south." 

As  the  physical  generative  law  expresses  first  in 
all  nature,  so  the  understanding  falls  naturally 
under  the  motions  of  the  generative  one.  Genera- 
tion is  the  first  dominant  of  law.  The  elemental  ap- 
petite chooses  for  man,  in  all  thought  and  action, 
the  dominant  will  of  the  masculine  law,  in  which  is 
no  power  to  impart  knowledge  of  the  law  of  the 
"limit,"  or,  of  the  way  of  escape  provided  by  na- 
ture, at  that  limit ;  in  a  revelation  of  another  order 
in  nature,  arising  after  the  first,  born  of  the  first ; 
•without  father  or  mother,  or  motion  of  descent. 
The  second  order  proceeds  out  of  the  loins  of  the 
first,  to  redeem  and  establish  the  first.  This  second 
"order"  proceeds  from  a  conception  of  the  law  with 
the  involved,  negatively  expressed;  or,  woman  ele- 
ments, of  the  generated  form. 

The  first  order  of  law  moves  in  its  automatic 
consciousness  from  its  life  center  toward  a  circum- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  51 

ference  (which  marks  the  limit)  without  any 
knowledge  whatever  of  the  existence  of  a  line  of 
force  opposite,  which  has  grown  with  its  own  mo- 
tion. The  primitive  intelligence  in  no  way  relates 
this  opposite  function  to  its  own  circumference. 
With  this  opposite  one  it  therefore  makes  war. 
Law  brings  to  Thought  a  mode  of  mental  construc- 
tion which  establishes  relations,  not  by  opinions 
formed  by  the  motions  of  force,  but  by  the  One 
Law.  "And  truth  shall  spring  from  the  earth." 
"The  seeing  eye  and  the  hearing  ear,"  the  Psalmist 
tells  us,  "the  Lord  hath  made  even  both  of  them." 

Opposite  equals  form  the  diameters  of  all  circles 
within  the  spheres  of  all  thought  and  action.  Says 
Ecclesiasticus,  "All  things  are  double  one  against 
another :  and  he  hath  made  nothing  imperfect."  .  . 
.  "A  man  of  understanding  trusteth  in  the  law; 
and  the  law  is  faithful  unto  him  as  an  oracle." 

The  problem  of  the  stability  of  the  sphere  be- 
comes the  problem  of  holding  opposite  lines  of 
force  in  triune  relation  upon  all  planes  of  activity 
till  at  the  limit  of  expansion  the  vision  of  the  first 
positive  order  is  reversed  by  the  vitality  of  an  op- 
posite line  of  force.  This  reversion  of  vision  turns 
the  eye  of  the  expanded  positive  one  back  toward 
the  center  of  its  circle  of  power,  back  toward  the 
fundamental  one,  dual,  triune,  note  of  existence; 
and  there  is  then  revealed  a  line  of  manifestation 
opposite  the  self,  proceeding  from  the  one  life  cen- 
ter, sustaining  that  center  equally  with  the  self. 
At  that  limit,  marked  as  a  circumference  or  limit  of 


52  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

expansion,  the  positive  expanded  magnetic  one 
shall  be  turned  back  toward  the  central  beginning : 
he  shall  look,  and  Lo !  the  Flaming  Sword  has  kept 
the  way  of  life.  That  look  shall  be  through  the 
circle  of  the  earth  at  the  involved  opposite  point 
of  circumference,  and  the  look  shall  reveal  two 
lines  of  force  and  a  center  of  force  which  covers  all, 
is  over  all,  and  through  all.  Two  lines  proceeding 
from  and  with  one  center.  Two  centered  equal 
forces  here  appear  as  one,  existing  in  the  reality 
as  three,  to  be  expressed  externally,  as  two  and  ex- 
plained as  Three-in-One. 

This  look  has  revealed  the  two  dominant  wit- 
nesses of  the  law.  It  has  shorn  one  of  positive  do- 
minion throughout  nature.  The  "look"  has  re- 
vealed another  than  the  primitive  dominant  one; 
another  which  is  forever  with  the  law,  despised  and 
forsaken  when  the  law  is  despised  and  forsaken. 
Law  is  enthroned  and  two  are  shorn  of  dominance 
by  that  central  One  of  the  midst  which  is  over  all, 
through  all  and  in  all.  Vision  shall  be  carried 
through  the  earth,  and  not  eternally  "up  and  down 
in  it."  The  eye  of  reason  builds  the  world  of  its 
problems,  placing  duality  in  natural  relation,  for, 
equal,  opposite,  function  in  the  same  center,  as  it 
was  in  the  beginning. 

The  circle,  then,  which  in  revolution  becomes 
the  sphere,  must  be  the  first  figure  of  regenerative 
revelation  to  our  understanding,  as  we  pass  from 
the  dominance  of  a  first  order  of  law,  to  the  en- 
thronement of  the  second  order,  or  as  we  pass  from 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  53 

the  dominance  of  primitive  law  and  primitive  appe- 
tite to  the  domain  where  dual  man  is  positive  and 
all  elemental  laws  negative  within  his  and  her  will. 
To  this  figure  (remembering  that  the  figure  is 
naught  and  will  pass  away)  we  look  for  light  as 
we  seek  to  establish  the  republic  which,  like  man,  is 
born  today  but  not  established.  The  law  of  that 
relation  which  conceives  is  not  the  law  which  sus- 
tains. The  nation  is  searching  for  the  sustaining 
law  of  equilibrium.  The  mind  of  the  will  of  the 
first  order  of  nature  is  more  subtle  than  any  beast 
of  the  field.  To  this  beast  we  have  bent  the  knee, 
listening  and  obeying,  while  he  declares  unto  the 
nation :  "The  see-saw  motion  of  force  is  the  motion 
of  balance  with  which  to  establish  the  republic." 
That  which  the  nation  seeks  is  not  the  "see-saw," 
but  the  balance  of  equilibrium  which  proceeds  from 
external  equality  and  equal  internal  interchange 
of  the  forces  which  that  external  relation  involves : 
not  the  see-saw  of  balance  but  the  balance  of  justice 
which  establishes  two  opposites  by  the  one  central 
law,  revealing  one  in  the  midst,  as  the  one  law  of 
dual  opposites. 

First,  the  see-saw  play  of  childhood  in  activity 
without  progress,  in  the  building  of  nations ;  then 
the  coming  in  of  another  and  a  better  law,  mani- 
fest as  the  will  of  the  people.  First  nature  sends 
out  the  raven,  or  magnetic  force  of  Noah  or  nature, 
with  its  to  and  fro  motion,  then  the  Dove  of  ascen- 
sion to  declare  a  new  creation  and  a  world  reborn. 
The  raven  discovers  nothing,  it  defines  nothing  in 


54  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

nature,  save  a  mode  of  motion.  "And  he  sent  forth 
a  raven,  which  went  to  and  fro."  This  the  eternal, 
universal,  magnetic  way  of  life  in  accumulation  of 
force. 

Creation  follows  one  dual  mode  of  motion,  and 
that,  a  generative  and  a  regenerative  one;  and 
the  physical,  the  masculine,  the  magnetic  raven  ex- 
presses externally  first  in  all  thought  and  action, 
and  in  all  building.  Nations  and  men  die  because 
they  make  no  provision  for  that  place  in  the  uni- 
versal law  where  the  raven,  or  the  physical,  mag- 
netic law,  breaks  down;  and  nature  (or  Noah,  the 
Law  of  the  physical-nature  seed)  calls  unto  him  the 
Dove,  or  the  one  involved  in  law  with  the  Raven. 
No  provision  for  that  place  in  external  expansion, 
where  the  involution  must  be  counted  as  the  hope 
of  that  balance  of  equilibrium  which  is  the  creative 
command  of  the  regeneration. 

The  sign  of  "the  limit"  in  original  law  and  its 
appetites  is  that  to  and  fro  sign,  drunkenness. 
There  comes  an  hour,  at  the  limit  of  physical  ex- 
pansion, in  the  experience  of  the  generative  law, 
when  the  see-saw  motion  of  magnetic  energy  natu- 
rally produces  that  state  of  drunkenness  in  na- 
tional life  which  declares  to  the  forces  which  think 
and  are  yet  sober,  that  the  balance,  even  of  the  see- 
saw is  destroyed,  and  the  one  problem  of  national 
life  has  become  the  problem  of  how  to  restore  and 
lift  up  the  center  of  the  square. 

Drunkenness  is  an  over-expansion  of  the  "to  and 
fro"  motion  of  the  raven  of  law;  a  nature  state, 


55 

from  which  there  is  a  way  of  escape  provided.  A 
way  which  covers  up  this  drunkenness  of  the  first 
nature  law  by  a  backward  motion  of  the  funda- 
mental duality  which  restores  self  respect.  This 
backward  move  is  toward  a  central  fundamental 
note,  lifting  up  that  note  by  lifting  up  one  lying 
opposite. 

Not  until  this  state  of  drunkenness  is  revealed 
will  we  see  the  triune  Law  as  the  way  of  escape 
which  shall  cover  the  sin  of  natural  original  crea- 
tion, which  sin  is  the  over-expansion  of  the  origi- 
nal mode  of  motion  which  creates  drunkenness. 
"And  Shem  and  Japheth  took  a  garment,  and  laid 
it  upon  both  their  shoulders,  and  went  backward 
and  covered  the  nakedness  of  their  father,  and 
their  faces  were  backward,  and  they  saw  not  their 
father's  nakedness." 

For  this  "garment"  born  upon  "both  their 
shoulders"  civilization  waits.  In  the  day  of  re- 
generate understanding,  when  we  see  this  old  and 
new  testament  of  law  as  a  pyramid  of  life,  with 
base  and  apex  of  physical  law  reaching  from  earth 
unto  heaven,  we  may  relate  this  garment  of  the 
first  testament  of  life  to  that  seamless  one  of  the 
regeneration  which  is  spiritually  and  naturally 
divided  into  four  parts,  at  a  place  of  sacrifice. 
This  understanding  must  be  read  from  that  lawful 
place,  in  the  promise  of  Genesis,  where  "God  shall 
enlarge  Japheth."  And  "blessed  be  the  Lord  God 
of  Shem;  Canaan  shall  be  his  servant."  Now 
Canaan  is  a  land  which  we  know  as  that  land  which 


56  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

all  Hebrew,  or  original  elements  inherit  from  the 
Law.  These  Hebrew  forces  ever  seek  this  land  of 
promise  by  a  to-and-fro  motion  of  wandering  in  a 
wilderness.  Yet  are  these  the  chosen  of  the  Law, 
to  bring  forth  the  regenerate  redeemer  of  all  life. 
At  a  limit,  marked  the  mountain  of  Sinai,  a  law  is 
given  the  original  creative  forces ;  a  Law  written 
upon  Two,  and  in  Two;  "written  on  the  one  side 
and  on  the  other."  "Written  on  both  their  sides." 
And  these  Two  are  the  one  table  of  Law  which  the 
original,  masculine,  magnetic  motion  breaks, 
wherever  it  is  given  dominant  expression.  This 
dual  table  of  the  One  Law  is  the  one  which  the 
masculine  law  breaks,  in  all  civilizations,  in  all 
governments  and  in  all  ecclesiasticism.  Wherever 
the  magnetic  one  is  leader  the  one  which  is  Two  is 
destroyed.  America  shall  now  restore  the  original 
table.  With  this  table  she  shall  rebuild.  With  the 
broken  stones  of  creation  in  her  hands  the  woman- 
hood of  the  world,  today,  cries  out.  Her  voice  is 
the  voice  of  stones,  demanding  the  restoration  of 
the  one  creative  Law  at  the  ballot  boxes  of  a 
United  America. 

"Hew  thee  two  tables  of  stone  like  unto  the  first, 
and  I  will  write  upon  these  tables  the  words  that 
were  in  the  first  tables  which  thou  breakest."  All 
creation  shall  restore  the  two  natural  tables  of  the 
Law  in  "the  regeneration."  All  elemental  forms, 
all  creative  beginnings  will  naturally  break  the 
Two  tables,  during  the  generative  period. 

Men  in  building,  and  in  seeking  to  sustain  gov- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  57 

eminent  upon  the  law  written  upon  one  table  of 
creation,  have  done  nothing  original,  save  obey  an 
original  automatic  mode  of  motion,  before  the  birth 
of  Thought  born  of  Law.  Thought  is  born  only 
of  the  Law,  rising  from  the  midst  of  a  Two  hemi- 
sphered  brain  which  is  under  the  law.  First,  the 
brain  sends  out  the  magnetic  action,  called 
thought,  born  of  a  to-and-fro  motion  there,  which 
arrives  at  Sinai,  but  arrives  not  at  understanding 
of  the  Law;  then,  balance  of  east  and  west,  right 
and  left,  with  the  equilibrium  of  that  balance, 
which,  manifest  in  any  form,  must  release  the  re- 
generative law,  and  lift  up  the  center  of  the  sphere 
in  an  equal  distribution  of  life  energy.  Why  bal- 
ance east  and  west,  in  brains  and  governments. 
That  I  be  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  in  all  forms. 
"Lifted  up"  to  reign  as  a  trinity  of  force,  born 
normally  of  two  to  become  one  in  the  midst. 

But  the  Old  Testament  dominance  is  long,  and 
the  journey  from  Canaan  to  Bethlehem  through 
ages  of  ignorance.  During  this  journey  the  north 
is  unawakened,  frozen,  yielding  not  the  garden, 
"which  was  a  sepulchre." 

The  law  of  balance  has  nothing  to  teach  save 
the  regenerative  law  of  life  written  upon  the  Two 
equal  generative  tables  of  every  Genesis.  Nothing 
else  in  brain,  nothing  else  in  government,  nothing 
else  in  religion,  nothing  else  in  sanity,  save  the  bal- 
ance of  east  and  west,  that  the  north  may  be 
opened  and  the  south  and  the  north  and  the  east 
and  the  west  become  a  seamless  garment  divided 


58  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

into  the  Four  natural  parts  commanded  by  the 
natural  science  of  regeneration. 

Wherever  insanity  is,  wherever  drunkenness  is 
the  cause,  is  it  not  the  one  cause  of  unbalance,  an 
over  expansion  of  the  positive  one,  a  broken  table 
in  the  stone  of  creation?  Has  not  Life  planted 
the  two  stones  in  brain,  and  blood,  and  body  ?  Shall 
not  Love  place  the  Two  stones  of  the  one  law  in 
the  ballot  boxes  of  Christianity?  Only  from  Two 
can  the  power  of  Four  arise.  "And  I  looked  and 
behold  Four  Chariots  came  out  from  between  two 
mountains,  and  the  mountains  were  mountains  of 
brass." 

The  nation  is  entering  a  regenerative  era  seek- 
ing to  balance  that  era  upon  one  "Table."  The 
terror  of  the  law  is  its  "to  and  fro"  dominance  in 
the  brain  of  man,  fastening  thought  to  the  one 
eternal  motion,  establishing  that  drunkenness 
which  is  the  insanity  of  the  primitive  one  there. 
To  break  this  over  expansion  of  the  magnetic  one 
in  the  brain  of  the  race  is  the  labor  of  Hercules. 
Death  is  the  penalty  of  refusing  this  labor.  Civi- 
lization faces  in  all  its  parts  the  problem  of  the 
broken  stone  of  the  Law.  The  broken  table  is  a 
broken  square. 

Nature  is  forcing  recognition  today  of  her  risen 
regenerative  Law,  her  Lord  of  Love  and  Light. 
Not  wisdom  alone  is  our  need,  but  wisdom  and  un- 
derstanding. The  science  of  Christianity  is  re- 
vealed in  the  dual  Bible  of  all  life.  That  book 
is  sealed  while  its  Law  is  unrecognized.  The  Bible 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  59 

of  nature  opens  only  to  the  Law  whose  name  is  One. 

We  have  had  opinions  about  the  dual  Bible. 
The  Law  alone  breaks  its  seal.  Happy  he  to  whom 
faith  has  made  the  record  whole,  from  cover  to 
cover.  It  is  a  book  about  the  science  of  govern- 
ment and  the  art  of  life.  From  Eden  to  the  victory 
of  the  woman  clothed  with  the  sun  it  is  about  the 
emancipation  of  the  son  of  the  woman,  the  regen- 
erative One.  The  woman  is  veiled  by  the  primitive 
law.  Today  the  veil  of  the  woman  is  rent  through- 
out the  world:  the  Law  has  conceived  with  Mother 
Earth.  From  the  universal  west  shall  the  regen- 
erative birth  arise  which  quickens  the  East. 

The  woman  of  the  regeneration  is  Seven  veiled 
in  the  understanding  and  consciousness  of  a  world: 
veils  are  to  be  rent,  a  primitive  law  beheaded:  and 
that  Head,  given  to  the  woman,  for  the  regenera- 
tion, before  she  may  stand  among  us  as  the  One 
naked  unveiled  Truth  of  the  whole-triune-regenera- 
tive relative  Law. 

The  power  of  the  primitive  relation  is  a  mighty 
mode  of  motion  which  holds  civilization  and  brains 
and  hands  and  powers  in  its  grasp  today.  The 
left  hand  and  the  left  brain  of  the  world  are  out 
of  balance  with  the  right.  Two  powers  are  to  be 
nailed  opposite  and  equal,  two  thieves  are  to  enter 
paradise  from  the  midst.  The  triune  one  is  to 
be  enthroned  from  Golgotha,  "the  place  of  a 
skull" ;  the  world  is  to  be  buried  with  the  Law  to 
arise  again. 

To  awaken  the  One  of  the  midst  from  among 


60  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  dead  is  the  Herculean  labor  of  the  world.  This 
labor  is  twelve  and  is  square.  There  is  no  squar- 
ing of  the  circle  without  recognition  of  that  fifth 
principle,  which  was  the  third,  which  was  the  first ; 
conceived  as  a  dual  Four,  explained  as  two,  exist- 
ing as  three  in  One,  from  the  beginning.  The 
squaring  of  the  circle  by  civilization  rests  upon 
knowledge  of  the  ancient  physical  law  of  forces 
known  as  a  law  of  holy  trinity.  Nowhere  is  the 
holy  square  one  established  without  conception  of 
the  Law  with  the  woman  of  the  regenerative  rela- 
tion. The  square  is  the  first  foundation. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  ways  man  shall  make  sac- 
rifice, or  the  Law  again  is  sacrificed.  Here  men 
and  nations  shall  yield  up  themselves  and  their 
bodies  to  the  Law  seeing  only  the  One  triune  rela- 
tion. Of  this  normal  sacrifice  nations  are  afraid. 
Their  trust  is  in  the  man  of  war.  They  are  afraid 
of  the  sacrifice  which  establishes  the  relativities  of 
the  One  Law ;  afraid  to  cast  all  care  upon  that  rela- 
tive Law,  to  rest  in  that  One  relation  which  con- 
ceives with  dual  man  the  balance  of  equilibrium, 
placing  a  yoke  upon  the  shoulders  of  all, — a  yoke 
which  is  easy,  and  whose  burden  is  light. 

The  era  of  regeneration  will  turn  to  "The  Book 
of  The  Law"  to  read  the  command  of  the  voice  of 
the  regeneration  to  the  Hebrew  forces  of  creation: 
"See,  that  thou  make  all  things  according  to  the 
pattern  showed  thee  in  the  mount." 

Man  is  one ;  he  is  therefore  a  relation  of  two  in 
all  his  parts.  He  lies,  then,  in  the  law,  to  manifest 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  61 

triune  perfection  in  the  flesh.  The  duality  of 
man's  organism  has  lately  been  explained  by  the 
very  highest  authority  as  an  arrangement  of  na- 
ture, whereby  "one  arm  of  the  duality  failing,  ex- 
istence may  continue  by  pressure  upon  the  other 
arm  of  function.  And  for  this  reason  man  is  dual." 

This  reasoning  is  but  the  clutch  of  the  to  and 
fro  motion  which  obscures  the  One  Law  upon  the 
understanding.  In  all  the  earth  the  duality  exists 
to  establish  the  triune  One  from  the  midst  of  them. 
Man's  brain  is  yet  unborn ;  man's  power  is  not  yet 
the  power  of  One.  Man's  power  is  not  his  own 
until  the  one  relative  Law  is  his.  This  learned 
authority  has  said,  in  fact:  "Two  exist,  so  that, 
should  the  man  refuse  to  work,  the  woman  may  and 
can  do  his  work.  Two  exist,  so  that,  should  the 
woman  of  the  duality  fail  to  do  her  work,  the  man 
may  and  can.  And  for  this  reason  Nature  made 
dual  organism  in  everything." 

Wherever  the  triune  One  Law  is  unrecognized 
darkness  reigns.  The  awakening  of  the  ether  must 
equalize  the  duality  in  civilization  and  its  brain, 
casting  out  magnetic  dominance,  revealing  the  One 
law  of  the  midst,  over  all.  The  race  of  the  future 
taught  by  the  Law  will  discern  between  its  right 
hand  and  its  left,  and  Nineveh  shall  fall. 

This  same  learned  authority  has  declared  to  the 
world  that  there  is  no  word  in  all  the  Bible  about 
the  brain,  and  that  there  was  no  law  of  brain  cul- 
ture known  to  the  ancients.  Was  not  the  "cup"  of 
immortality  given  at  Golgotha,  the  place  of  a 


62  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

skull?  The  Bible  is  the  psychology  of  life  by  the 
way  of  Golgotha.  The  Bible  is  all  brain  law. 

One  is  dual  for  manifestation  of  the  triune  One. 
The  period  of  this  manifestation  is  known  as  the 
period  of  second,  or  regenerative  creation.  Dual 
generation  exists  for  triune  regeneration.  The 
dual  generated  body  and  brain  of  nations  and  of 
man  exists  for  the  regenerative  period.  The  period 
of  generative  existence  is  limited.  The  regenera- 
tion knows  no  limit. 

Every  seed  is  dual, — every  herb,  fruit,  grass, 
"yielding  fruit  after  his  kind,  whose  seed  is  in 
himself."  Within  two  the  regenerative  seed  is 
born,  "Without  father,  without  mother,  without 
descent,"  born  of  the  woman  and  the  law.  The 
regenerative  "seed"  is  the  central  seed,  the  Alpha 
and  Omega  of  Life.  This  "seed"  rests  as  One 
upon  Two  to  establish  Three  as  one,  agreeing  in 
one. 

Womanhood  comes  to  the  governments  of-  the 
world  today,  not  to  do  the  work  which  the  male  of 
a  duality  will  not  or  cannot  do,  but  to  establish  the 
One  Law  which  carries  the  burdens,  and  does  the 
work  of  the  Father  "which  sent  me."  She  comes 
to  make  of  political  parties  normal  seed.  She 
comes  to  establish  regenerative  relations  within  the 
bodies  of  each;  comes  to  give  the  dual  heart,  the 
dual  brain,  the  dual  blood,  of  the  one  breath  of  the 
triune  body  of  Law. 

Until  the  dual  opposite  relations  of  functional 
life  are  established  within  inherent  constructive 


63 

force,  each  force,  which  we  call  party,  must  stand 
outside  the  plane  of  normal  creative  and  recreative 
activity.  Every  male  political  party  is  a  male  for- 
mation, without  power  to  manifest  the  One  law. 
Such  an  one  cannot  write  the  republic  in  that 
"square  deific"  within  the  circle  of  its  life,  which 
is  that  "square  deal"  of  nature  which  establishes 
the  seed  of  equilibrium  lawfully  by  an  equal  rela- 
tion of  opposite  forces,  forces  opposite  to  glorify 
the  One  Law  of  Life.  Between  two  male  factors 
the  triune  law  is  crucified,  and  this  manifestation  is 
eternally  the  same,  in  every  age  and  place. 

There  is  a  dual  law  of  life  in  nature,  and  a  One 
Law  of  Life.  There  is  a  God  and  a  Lord  God. 
There  is  a  generation  and  a  regeneration.  Final 
creation  rests  upon  the  One  Law  which  appears 
through  the  woman  of  life.  We  have  taken  the  mas- 
culine arm  of  the  seed  of  life  and  separating  that 
arm  from  the  law,  we  have  commanded  it  to  create 
the  republic  of  the  United  States.  We  have  bro- 
ken the  tables,  and  laid  the  sin  upon  the  Lord  God. 

Liberty  is  a  regenerative  seed, — a  seed  created 
within  the  image  of  a  triune  One.  Political  parties 
created  outside  of  this  image  cannot  create  Lib- 
erty. Life  makes  a  dual  covenant  with  man.  He 
serves  the  positive  arm  of  that  covenant  only  to  a 
limit  set.  "For  if  the  first  covenant  had  been  fault- 
less then  should  no  place  have  been  sought  for  the 
second." 

The  first  covenant  is  that  generative  compact 
which  writes  one  of  the  duality  as  a  negative,  re- 


64  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

ceptive  to  the  positive  arm  of  law.  The  second 
covenant  writes  two  equally  receptive  to  the  Law. 
The  first  covenant  has  to  do  with  the  duality  and 
with  one  of  the  duality  a  dominant ;  the  second  has 
to  do  with  the  state  of  holy  trinity  and  the  domi- 
nance of  the  One  Law  in  Two. 

When  political  parties  are  normally  formed, 
each  may  claim  to  be  the  possible  regenerator  of 
the  affairs  of  the  republic.  The  regenerative  rela- 
tion is  born  of  the  generative  two;  that  which  is 
different  is  the  dual  proportions  and  relations. 
The  woman  manifests  not  only  herself  but  herself 
and  the  Law.  In  all  nature  we  find  the  normal 
creative  proportion  to  be  H20. 

That  which  is  regenerative  is  regenerative  by 
virtue  of  the  natural  lawful  generative  duality. 
Every  normal  generative  force  is  dual  in  itself  be- 
fore that  union  of  opposites  which^  establishes  the 
square.  The  Two  Mountains  of  the  law  eject  Four 
Chariots.  The  mystery  of  the  fourth  dimension 
lies  in  the  first. 

The  first  normal  birth  is  a  birth  of  holy  trinity. 
When  political  parties  are  normally  formed,  rest- 
ing upon  normal  duality  for  the  One  Law,  then 
that  which  they  shall  conceive  must  partake  of 
normal  wholeness.  To  be  whole  is  to  be  dual  and 
self  regenerative  through  the  One  triune  Law,  the 
one  Creator.  To  be  self  regenerative  is  then  to  be 
formed  of  dual  equal  opposites.  Our  political  par- 
ties are  today  written  outside  the  one  Law  in  the 
chaotic  darkness  of  creation's  morn. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  65 

The  Republic  of  the  United  States  is  not  yet 
conceived  of  the  Law  and  the  Woman.  It  is  not 
yet  holy  created.  America  represents  the  elemen- 
tal force  out  of  which  a  republic  is  to  be  created 
by  the  breath  of  the  Law.  The  positive  arm  of 
creation,  by  its  to-and-fro  motion  of  magnetic  en- 
ergy, has  gathered  the  elemental  forces  of  crea- 
tion for  the  hour  when  Creation  shall  move  upon 
the  woman  in  recreation.  America  has  gathered 
elemental  forces  to  her  shores  from  all  climes,  by 
virtue  of  her  inherent  law  and  its  magnetic  motion. 
She  has  not  yet  been  established  a  Republic  or  been 
created  by  the  One  Law.  She  has  gathered  the 
materials  and  formed  the  external  structure  with- 
out the  Soul  of  the  Law  within. 

Not  one  inherent  principle  of  Democracy  is  yet 
enthroned  in  natural  law.  That  which  is  not  en- 
throned in  the  One  Law  may  be  overthrown.  When 
the  Republic  is  enthroned  in  Law  the  will  of  the 
people  will  be  the  will  of  The  Law,  where  now  the 
master  of  the  will  of  the  people  is  the  personlity 
and  party  of  primitive  impulse. 

When  the  Republic  is  enthroned  in  Law  it  will 
know  the  square  archway  of  the  Law;  it  will  rec- 
ognize its  problems  upon  the  right  hand  and  upon 
the  left;  it  will  see  the  Law  which  stoops  to  write 
twice  upon  the  ground ;  it  will  recognize  a  first  and 
second  writing  of  the  Law  in  all  evolution. 
Womanhood  is  today  fighting,  alone,  the  second 
coming  of  that  principle  of  the  soul:  Taxation 
without  Representation  is  tyranny. 


66  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Against  this  second  appearance  of  the  law  is  ar- 
rayed, church,  state  and  national  head  on  the  one 
side;  womanhood,  a  minority  manhood,  and  the 
Law  of  Life  upon  the  other.  America  is  suffering 
today  from  many  burdens, — burdens  which  shame 
her  civilization.  Her  chiefest  crime  is  her  crime 
against  the  resurrection  of  the  Law  of  her  being 
in  this  denial  of  the  appeal  of  womanhood. 

Already  the  term  "militant  suffragist"  is  borri, 
because  compelled.  Is  a  battle  field  the  place  for 
womanhood?  Who  forces  her  there?  The  state 
and  national  head.  Have  we  forgotten  the  blood 
which  flows  in  her  veins?  Do  we  marvel  that  she 
asks  the  gift  her  fathers  asked?  The  marvel  is 
not  that  she  asks:  the  marvel  of  modern  civiliza- 
tion is  that  she  should  have  to  ask. 

Every  positive  force  will  steal  dominance  by  a 
mode  of  motion  inherent  in  its  own  body.  In  the 
pendulum  swing  of  affairs  the  negative  of  every 
era  must  become  the  positives  of  the  next,  taking 
naturally  the  sins  of  the  positive  law,  oppressing 
where  they  have  been  oppressed.  Labor  under  this 
law  must  become  naturally  as  dominant  as  capital, 
womanhood  as  dominant  as  manhood.  This  the 
terror  of  ignorance  of  the  use  of  the  woman,  or  the 
opposite  involved  equals  of  life.  Ignorance  of  the 
regenerative  squared  balance  of  equilibrium  holds 
civilization  to  the  to-and-fro  motion  of  activity 
without  progress.  The  one  lawful  positive  is  the 
one  in  the  midst  of  Two.  The  normal  regenera- 
tor of  Two  kingdoms  is  this  One.  Life  knows  but 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  67 

Two  kingdoms  and  these  are  one  in  that  Law 
which  is  eternally  the  Triune  One,  in  the  midst  of 
two  and  eternally  with  "my  two  witnesses"  in 
earth  and  in  that  heaven  of  understanding  where 
the  kingdoms  of  this  world  are  become  "the  king- 
doms of  his  Son."  "And  the  Seventh  angel 
sounded:  and  there  were  great  voices  in  heaven 
saying,  "The  kingdoms  of  this  world  are  become 
the  kingdoms  of  our  Lord  and  his  Christ ;  and  he 
shall  reign  forever  and  forever."  "And  the  elders 
fell  upon  their  faces  and  worshipped."  "Because 
thou  hast  taken  to  thee  thy  great  power  and  hast 
reigned" 

The  positives  of  all  dual  lines  of  force  inher- 
ently take  to  themselves  the  power  which  belongs 
to  the  Lord  of  the  midst.  There  comes  an  hour 
when  the  Law  claims  "thy  great  power." 

The  one  lawful  positive  is  the  regenerative  triune 
one  of  the  midst  of  Two.  Power  is  taken  from 
the  Two  to  be  given  to  the  one  in  the  midst.  So, 
"my  two  witnesses"  fall  "dead  in  the  street,"  to 
awaken  to  the  eternal  life  of  the  Law.  The  to-and- 
fro  motion  of  the  magnetic  law  in  the  brain  of 
what  we  call  Christian  theology  has  scratched  the 
head  of  the  world  for  two  thousand  years,  asking, 
"Who  are  the  Two  witnesses  of  the  Revelation  of 
the  regeneration?"  What  eternal  idiocy!  And 
how  long  this  darkness  is  to  continue  is  for  the 
present  day  to  answer.  This  Bible  is  a  book  of 
Life.  Law  governs  life,  and  this  book  is  a  "Book 
of  the  Law"  and  its  way  and  its  Christ.  Your 


68  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

two  omnipresent  witnesses  of  the  regeneration  and 
its  Revelation  are  the  two  witnesses  of  all  creation, 
— the  man  and  the  woman  of  life,  and  the  man  and 
the  woman  of  universal  Law.  Your  Two  witnesses 
are  a  magnetic  and  an  ether  Law,  before  us  today. 
And  in  the  midst  of  these  "the  Law  and  his 
Christ."  Your  "Two  witnesses"  are  the  eternal 
duality  of  creation,  Life's  Two  Tables  of  Stone. 

The  One  of  the  midst  is  ready  today  to  take  unto 
himself  the  great  power  of  the  midst  and  reign  in 
Two;  if,  and  when,  man  will  resign  his  dominance 
and  turning  to  the  triune  natural  Law  release  unto 
that  Law  the  womanhood  of  this  republic. 

The  one  lawful  positive  is  the  Law.  The  throne 
of  Law  is  "in  the  midst"  of  the  circle  of  the  river 
of  the  water  of  life,  bearing  fruit  upon  either  side. 
The  one  lawful  positive  is  the  Law,  in  whom,  and 
before  whom,  all  republican  institutions  are  bound 
to  be  negative — or  woman  elements — before  the 
positive,  Husband  of  nature.  "Thy  Maker"  is  the 
whole  creative  Law, — Ruler  of  all  institutions  ac- 
quainted with  the  Lord  of  Hosts.  And  this 
"Maker  is  thine  Husband,"  before  whom  all  the 
earth,  in  the  regeneration,  is  to  be  the  woman,  "si- 
lent," obedient  unto  Him,  seeking  knowledge  only 
of  Him,  the  Husband  of  all  the  forces  of  natural, 
national,  social,  and  political  life. 

This  Bible  is  a  book  of  authority,  and  all  about 
the  "authority"  of  the  Husband  of  life  and  Law. 
The  trouble  with  man's  understanding  has  been 
that  he  has  thought  it  was  a  book  about  his  auth- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  69 

ority  over  an  individual  lying  opposite  him,  in  the 
Law,  mistaking  himself  for  the  Law  which  is  Lord 
of  Life,  the  Ruler  and  King  in  governments  and 
worlds. 

Man  has  fastened  the  universal  upon  the  indi- 
vidual, interpreting  the  universal  for  the  individ- 
ual. This  the  terror  of  the  primitive  law  in  domi- 
nant relation  to  the  brain.  Mankind  is  still  in 
bondage  to  this  system  of  thought  and  construc- 
tion. When  the  second  order  of  nature  appears 
with  the  second  aspect  of  law,  which  establishes 
the  triune  One  a  crucifixion  of  the  first,  is  written, 
that  the  One  which  is  "the  Law  and  his  Christ" 
may  be  enthroned.  There  is  a  lawful  crucifixion 
in  a  natural  order  of  ascension.  The  world  is 
called  upon  today  to  crucify  a  law,  and  an  order, 
which  has  fastened  one  mode  of  motion  upon  all 
thought  and  action.  Man  will  crucify  this  law  or 
be  crucified  again  under  its  dominion.  This  law  is 
the  originator  of  war  and  the  struggle  for  domi- 
nance. It  is  the  forerunner  of  "a  better  way"  to 
be  cut  off  to  make  place  for  another,  whose  name 
is  One. 

Man  will  today  cut  off  and  crucify  this  primi- 
tive law,  or  he  in  supreme  ignorance  will  crucify 
the  regenerative  One,  knocking  today  at  the  door 
of  all  civilization.  Man  is  yet  in  bondage  to  the 
primitive  law  and  its  primitive  understanding.  Na- 
ture, which  gave  the  first,  has  given  also  the  One 
Law  which  is  the  one  way  of  escape.  And  when  we 
come  to  the  problem  of  intelligently  husbanding 


70  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

our  natural  resources  in  the  brain  and  body  of  na- 
tions and  of  men,  we  will  give  unto  every  problem 
and  every  force  the  whole  Law,  as  Husband,  and 
protector,  and  friend,  of  the  equal  rights  of  aD. 

Before  this  "Husband"  America  shall  be  silent 
and  obedient,  looking  only  to  the  affairs  of  her 
own  household,  begetting  only  those  children  which 
are  gotten  of  the  Law,  its  own  will  as  naught. 
The  personal  will  in  this  triune  relation  is  buried 
in  the  will  of  the  Law,  is  negative  in  all  conception 
to  the  will  of  creation.  The  two  wills  buried  to- 
gether, arise  together.  Man  in  ascension  with  the 
Lord  and  Law  of  Life  rises  in  that  equal  relation 
of  positive  forces  where  one,  naturally,  yields  up 
life  and  power  and  will  to  the  other.  Dual  man  ac- 
cepts this  sacrifice,  this  gift  of  the  life  and  body 
of  the  triune  One  relation.  In  this  acceptance, 
the  Law  (by  the  will  of  man)  yields  up  life  and 
power  and  will  unto  "My  two  witnesses  in  all  the 
earth," — and  greater  love  hath  no  man  than  this. 

"The  kings  of  the  earth  stood  up,  and  the  rulers 
were  gathered  together  against  the  Lord,  and 
against  his  Christ,"  says  Acts  four,  twenty-six. 

If  man  is  to  attain  power  and  might  and  will  his 
attainment  must  be  the  gift  of  nature  through  the 
Law  and  his  Christ.  All  things  in  nature  may  par- 
take of  the  regeneration  which  is  upon  the  world 
today.  Man  alone  may  achieve  that  whole  union 
which,  manifest  at  Golgotha,  declares  the  Christ 
of  the  Law  as  the  gift  of  life  to  humanity. 

Our  understanding  is  yet  related  to  the  first  cove- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  71 

nant  only.  In  all  generative  covenant  the  genera- 
tive understanding  alone  is  enthroned.  Woman  is 
in  the  first  covenant,  to  appear  in  the  second,  "for 
man."  In  all  primitive  generative  conception  of 
thought  the  man  will  see  himself  written  "for"  the 
woman,  to  protect  woman — from  other  men.  His 
dominant  protection,  for  which  he  thinks  life  has 
written  him,  will,  under  the  masculine  generative 
law,  world  without  end,  take  the  form  of  denial. 
Is  it  not  Goethe  who  defines  Mephistopheles : 
"Among  the  spirit  of  denial  Thee?"  The  first 
and  eternal  primitive  denial  is  the  denial  of  the 
One  Law.  Wherever  we  have  one  of  an  opposite 
equal  dual  manifestation  denied,  we  have  the  denial 
of  the  One  Law  and  the  blindness  from  birth  which 
obscures  the  One  of  the  midst  which  redeems  "My 
Two  Witnesses."  This  is  truth  of  nature  whether 
we  discuss  the  question  of  good  and  evil,  or  Votes 
for  Women.  This  denial  of  one  is  the  eternal 
trick  of  the  devil  fastened  upon  the  brain  of  a  race 
and  there  manifest,  whether  we  invent  new  religions 
or  flying  machines.  Eternally,  "Among  the  spirits 
of  denial  Thee."  We  have  had  the  magnetic  law 
manifest  in  the  religions  of  men.  The  ether  de- 
scent upon  civilization  must  awaken,  in  a  natural 
order,  the  religion  of  the  One  Law,  given  with 
morning  stars.  To  break  through  tlw  denial  is 
the  problem  of  all  invention. 

Man  has  denied  woman  her  place  in  the  law  at 
the  ballot  box  under  the  automatic  motion  of  his 
brain  and  body  which  produces  his  thought.  That 


72  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

denial,  Mephistopheles  today  yet  whispers,  is  for 
her  protection.  Woman's  protection  is  not  in  man's 
power,  but  in  his  will,  which  gives  him  the  power 
to  give  her  the  protection  of  the  One  Law.  He 
cannot  protect  her,  he  can  see  the  law  of  her  pro- 
tection writing  himself  in  that  law.  Has  not 
Goethe,  in  the  second  part  of  his  divine  tragedy 
of  the  One  Law  of  Life,  shown  us  that  the  whole 
experience  of  man  with  this  "spirit  of  denial"  is 
recovery  of  possession  from  the  sea  when  he  has 
become  blind  to  all  save  the  truth  of  One? 

In  every  problem  we  will  find  that  we  have  a  dual 
relation  under  the  law  of  the  man  and  the  woman. 
In  every  problem  we  will  see  the  man,  or  the  posi- 
tive arm,  present  the  same  argument  of  denial  of 
one  opposite,  based  upon  the  idea  of  protection  to 
the  negative  one.  All  problems  present  this  rela- 
tion, and  all  solutions  bring  the  one  remedy  and 
the  one  proposition.  There  is  nothing  original  in 
the  whole  primitive  area  of  thought  and  action. 
And  the  primitive  extends  over  the  whole  genera- 
tive period,  to  the  birth  of  the  regenerative  law  in 
understanding.  In  the  generative  testament  of  life 
the  man  will  see  himself  written  for  the  woman. 
And  the  woman  will  serve  him.  Under  this  law 
labor  will  believe  itself  under  the  control  of  and 
servant  to  capital. 

In  the  regenerative  era  the  woman  arm  of  life 
serves  the  Law,  and  the  man  serves  the  Law,  and 
justice  sits  in  the  midst,  with  the  Law,  blinded  to 
either  arm  of  the  duality.  The  regeneration  re- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  73 

veals  the  fact:  "Neither  was  the  man  created  for 
the  woman ;  but  the  woman  for  the  man.  For  this 
cause  ought  the  woman  to  have  power  on  her  head 
because  of  the  angels." 

In  this  regenerative  vision  we  will  focus  the  eye, 
not  upon  the  part,  but  upon  the  whole,  or  holy  See. 
In  this  "See"  we  will  recognize  the  rise  of  all  nega- 
tive life,  as  the  woman  arm  of  Law,  rising,  today 
and  in  all  days  "for  the  man"  and  his  ascension. 

When  the  eye  has  ascended  from  the  generative 
to  the  regenerative  understanding  we  will  recog- 
nize the  Bible  of  civilization  as  a  record  of  the  way 
of  life  to  be  interpreted  by  life,  and  not  by  men  or 
by  women.  We  will  see  here  a  universal  way  of 
life,  belonging  to  all  force  and  to  all  men,  who  will 
follow  the  physical  Law  till  it  become  the  spiritual 
power  of  the  world. 

Our  first  understanding  is  an  unrelated  under- 
standing. The  generative  eye  has  left  the  Bible  of 
Christianity  unrelated  to  social  and  political  life. 
This  conception  gave  us  no  understanding  of  that 
Law  which  is  written  within  a  law,  to  be  the  one 
"for  to  come,"  uniting  all  in  a  conception  which 
must  cover  the  religions  and  the  governments  of 
the  earth  with  the  garment  of  the  One  Law,  seam- 
less and  square. 

We  must  see  that  a  relation  of  forces  called  a 
triune  relation  is  one  which  becomes  a  Law.  The 
awakening  brain  of  the  race  still  under  the  inspira- 
tion of  denial,  to  which  the  brain  of  the  race  is  fast, 
today  asks,  If  we  have  the  Law  as  ruler  and  crea- 


74  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

tor,  what  need  or  use  is  there  hereafter  in  any  re- 
ligion for  that  word  Lord?  This  is  equivalent  to 
asking,  If  we  have  a  relation  of  forces  which  is 
Law,  of  what  use  is  there  for  a  plane  of  expression 
•for  that  relation?  The  Law  must  have  the  Lord 
and  the  Lord  his  Christ,  a  triune  whole  body 
within  and  without. 

Is  not  the  Lord  a  plane  of  expression  for  the 
triune  relation  of  force  ?  And  is  it  not  the  business 
of  men  to  make  that  plane  of  manifestation  the 
self,  and  thus  prepare  the  body  of  the  Lord  for  the 
reign  of  its  Christ  upon  earth,  in  governments  and 
in  tabernacles  not  made  with  hands?  Can  science 
remove  the  personality  or  individual  expression  of 
the  Law?  Nay,  it  can  establish. 

The  Law  and  "the  Lord  and  his  Christ"  cannot 
be  separated  in  "the  word."  The  Church  may  deny 
one,  science  the  other.  In  learning,  the  two  are  a 
triune  one.  In  the  evolution  of  our  understanding 
the  Law  which  is  first  "it"  in  the  primitive  era,  be- 
comes "Him"  in  the  positive  understanding  of  the 
regenerative  reign.  That  which  was  negative  in 
primitive  consciousness  (or  it)  takes  positive  place 
in  relation  to  humanity.  Dual  humanity  in  at-one- 
ment  stands  before  the  Law  as  negative  servant. 
The  Law  is  thus  related  to  humanity  as  a  positive 
one  with  which  humanity  is  to  conceive. 

We  see  in  the  record  of  creation  two  natural  ac- 
counts recorded  in  every  Genesis  of  life  and  Law. 
Nowhere  in  nature,  nowhere  in  civilization,  do  we 
find  creation  recorded  by  the  Lord  God  in  the  first 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  75 

of  Genesis.  The  Lord  God  has  function  in  creation 
not  given  to  God,  and  that  function  is  a  birth  in 
man  by  the  awakening  of  the  woman.  We  see 
that  the  second  of  Genesis  in  all  Genesis  is  not  the 
record  of  the  birth  of  the  first  man,  but  a  record 
of  the  man  who  is  the  first  to  give  birth  to  the 
woman.  Adam — in  a  scientific  view  of  rrrjijjnp  •  ""v 
is  not  the  first  man,  more  than  America  is  the  first 
nation.  Adam  is  the  law  of  the  first  man  who 
gives  equal  birth  to  the  woman  of  the  side,  by  the 
breath  of  Law,  after  a  mist  has  risen  from  the 
"earth  and  watered  the  whole  face  of  the  ground." 

The  first  of  every  Genesis,  in  the  creation  of  na- 
tions and  of  men,  gives  record  of  the  birth  of  the 
"living  creature ;"  the  second,  of  the  birth  of  the 
"living  souT7r^This  second  birth  is  by  a  process 
which  reveals  a  tree  of  life  in  the  midst  of  that  gar- 
den of  the  Law  which  in  all  construction  is  first 
"planted  eastward."  "And  there  he  put  the  man." 
And  there,  in  the  east,  the  dominant  positive  of  all 
elemental  construction  remains,  until  this  same 
positive  masculine  force  is  driven  out  by  theJajE— — 
"at  the  limit  of  growth  period."  "Therefore  the 
Lord  God  sent  him  forth  from  the  Garden  of 
Eden,  to  till  the  ground  from  whence  he  was  taken. 
So  he  drove  out  the  man." 

And  not  until  the  man  is  driven  out  (for  nowhe^x^ 
in  nature  is  the  woman  driven  out  of  the  garden 
of  the  law)  can  he  know  the  woman.     Not  until 
he  is  in  a  position  to  turn,  and  be  moved  backward 
in  his  vision  toward  the  place  which  marks  an  en-

76  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

trance  to  Eden,  can  he  behold  the  Flaming  Sword 
of  division  which  keeps  the  way  of  the  tree  of  life. 
Not  until  this  driving  out  of  the  man  can  the 

Joman  conceive  with  the  Law,  anywhere  .in  holy 
__  cation. 

The  result  of  the  division  is  that  the  man  of  this 
division  learns  to  know  the  woman  opposite  as  his 
wife  or  balance  force,  equal  in  opposite  relation 
with  the  Law.  Knowing  her  in  the  Law,  she  con- 
ceives by  the  law,  a  conception  which  is  dual.  The 
woman  force  first  recognizes  the  Law  as  a  dual 
positive  expression  in  creation,  declaring  at  once: 
"I  have  gotten  a  man  from  the  Lord,  and  she 
again  bear  his  brother  Abel."  Here  is  the  first 
square  conception  of  man  and  Law.  That  which 
is  of  the  Lord  is  at  once  dual  and  square.  The 
first  birth  by  the  Law  is  Cain-Abel. 

While  we  have  only  the  generative  eye  for  reve- 
lation we  cannot  conceive  square  revelation.  Gen- 
erative law  produces  the  form  in  which  force  is 
transmuted  from  the  generative  to  the  regenera- 
tive understanding.  Generation  is  the  letter  of  the 
law,  which  cannot  be  the  spirit  gotten  of  the  whole 
Law.  In  words  and  things  it  produces  the  form 
which  serves  the  spirit.  The  form  serves  the  whole 
spirit  when  that  form  is  given  up  to  the  Lord  of 
Regeneration,  with  all  that  "is  therein." 

The  generative  law  is  the  first  law  of  fire ;  that 
phosphoric  fire  of  creation  which  appears  as  thj 
first  creator  in  the  waters  under  the  earth-fine 
morning  star;  and  the  God  Lucifer,  son  of  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  77 

morning,  "which  didst  weaken  the  nations."  This 
same  Lucifer  becomes  a  King  in  Babylon,  and  in  all 
expression  is  "the  shining  one,"  always  a  king,  and 
always  a  king  in  Babylon — to  fall.  As  the  morn- 
ing star,  Venus ;  as  the  evening  star,  Saturn,  seven- 
ringed!  leading  the  fires  of  creation  up  to  the 
Throne  of  Saturn. 

"  Up,  from  earth's  center    and    on    the    Throne  of 

Saturn  sate, 

Many  a  knot  to  unravel  by  the  way,  but  not  the 
Master  Knot  of  human  fatejl. 


America  has  become  the  positive  fire  of  the 
world, — the  creative  symbol  of  magnetic  energy. 
She  is  the  man  of  elemental  creation  among  the 
nations  of  the  earth,  the  magnet  of  the  world.  As 
man,  she  is  under  the  masculine  law,  compelled  by 
nature,  at  a  place,  to  give  birth  to  the  involution 
of  her  life.  As  the  man  she  is  under  the  law.  The 
fire,  which  is  Venus  of  the  morning  becomes,  by  a 
•passover  of  forces,  Saturn  of  the  night. 

America,  taken  from  the  side  of  old  England  to 
be  rib  and  stay  in  a  new  England,  fell  under  the 
nature  law  of  the  woman.  She  grew  up  under  this 
law  with  the  protection  of  the  Lord  of  her  birth. 
The  first  relation,  in  every  birth,  to  be  fixed  in  the 
understanding,  is  the  dual  father-mother  relation; 
the  relation  of  the  "Two  Kingdoms"  of  creation. 
(Not  the  hundred  eyes  of  Argus  but  first  two.) 
Length  of  days  is  wholly  dependent  upon  the 
honor  given  to  this  first  relation. 


78  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Born  under  the  law  of  the  woman,  from  the  side 
of  England,  America  has  passed  from  the  involved 
to  the  evolved,  and  is  today  at  a  physical  limit. 
She  is  now  under  the  masculine  law,  at  the  limit  of 
masculine  dominance,  to  give  birth  m  her  turn  to 
a  regenerative  form,  under  the  fundamental  law 
of  her  being.  To  retain  her  place  she  turns  to  her 
Law,  becoming  again  the  woman  in  relation  to  that 
Law,  but  still  the  man  in  relation  to  the  world. 
Eternally  creating  the  Light  of  the  Woman. 

America  under  the  law  of  magnetic  expansion 
has  reached  the  magnetic  limit.  Under  the  mascu- 
line law  she  is  at  a  place  in  the  garden  of  Liberty, 
where  she  fears  she  may  be  driven  out.  She  is  in- 
stinctively fortifying  herself  with  war  ships  with 
which  to  protect  herself,  in  case  of  attack  from  an- 
other, lying  opposite.  As  the  magnetic  nation  of 
the  world  she  is  the  "living  creature"  of  elemental 
republics,  not  yet  the  living  conscious  soul  which 
shall  become  naturally  not  a  dominant  force,  but 
a  quickening  spirit,  in  relation  to  the  nations  of 
the  earth. 

Her  fear  and  her  disposition  to  defend  herself 
from  an  imaginary  approach  is  an  animal  impulse, 
she  is  already  attacked,  and  her  existence  in  peril 
from  an  enemy  of  her  own  household, — an  enemy 
which  she  may,  like  Moses,  bury  m  the  sand  and 
march  on  toward  a  land  promised  every  original 
force.  She  needs  defence  today,  the  defence 
that  understanding  which  turns  the  vision  back,  at 
that  limit  where  the  original  garden  ceases  to  ex- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  79 

pand,  toward  a  tree,  not  of  the  east,  but  of  the 
midst  of  a  garden. 

We  have  conceived  that  we  could  build  a  repub- 
lic out  of  magnetic  force.  We  have  worshipped  the 
^pd  Lucifer  for  his  lucre,unmindful  of  his  Law. 
Man  cannot  build  as  hepleases ;  Life  has.  plan  to 
be  recognized,  in  sanity  and  in  righteousness. 
When  man  begins  to  build  a  republic  he  has  en- 
tered creation's  domain  to  be  silent  before  the  Ma- 
ker, asking  knowledge  of  the  Husband  of  Life. 
Forces  are  to  be  dealt  with,  not  men  and  women. 
Personality  is  to  die,  buried  with  the  Law. 

The  republic  is  the  ideal  creative  condition: 
here  "The  Compost"  of  the  world ;  here  a  chaos  of 
elements  where  God  may  move  upon  the  face  of 
the  waters  and  be  free.  Do  we  build  for  freedom 
of  man  or  for  freedom  of  woman?  NO.  For  the 
freedom  of  America  ?  NO.  For  the  freedom  of  the 
Law,  the  nature  motion  of  which  is  ascension.  Law 
is  first  generative  and  divine  to  become  regenera- 
tive and  human. 

Man  is  limited  in  all  building  to  the  establishing 
of  relations  between  forces  already  existing.  His 
power  is  limited  to  the  establishing  of  relations. 
The  master  builder  knows  his  function,  knows  that 
he  must  repeat  the  law  of  the  foundation  in  the 
Dome.  The  "lily  work"  of  the  "top"  is  the  work 
of  interior  masters.  The  ceiling  is  the  place  of 
revelation,  left  in  all  holy  construction  for  the 
Builder  who  can  define  there  "the  Master  knot  of 
human  fate." 


80  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

In  the  hour  of  understanding  Law  is  teacher 
and  king  and  no  man  presumes  to  teach  his  brother, 
for  all  know  the  Law  and  are  obedient  unto  Law. 
We  shall  then  have,  in  this  era  of  light,  no  longer 
the  problem  of  national  supremacy  upon  the  high 
seas,  but  the  problem  of  the  supremacy  of  the  glory 
of  the  Law. 

This  era  is  yet  a  dream,  for  an  ear  of  an  high 
priest  is  cut  off,  in  the  will  of  the  people.  We  are 
concerned  with  preparation  for  possible  attack 
upon  a  Pacific  coast  line;  concerned  how  to  evade 
the  uprising  of  negative  life  force  and  life's  de- 
mand from  within  us;  how  to  satisfy  the  helpless 
cry  with  promise  not  to  be  fulfilled,  unless  com- 
pelled. We  are  concerned  with  pure  food,  not  with 
brain  food ;  sterilization  of  milk  cans,  not  with  na- 
tional whiskey  bottles ;  the  preservation  of  forest 
trees,  not  with  the  tree  of  life.  The  impulse  for, 
external  preservation  is  the  shadow  of  a  larger 
fact.  The  whole  fact  is  the  spiritual  purpose  of 
life  today  to  preserve  not  only  the  physical  but 
the  immortal  tree.  The  involution  includes  the 
evolution,  while  the  evolution  is  blind  to  the  invo- 
lution. 

Today  we  are  blind  and  have  not  to  do  with  the 
whole  spiritual  fact,  but  the  outer  fact  only,  not 
with  the  reign  of  that  understanding  which  dis- 
cerns the  symbol  and  the  fact,  but  with  the  reign 
of  the  external  masculine  arm  of  law  before  the 
advent  of  whole  understanding.  In  this  day  we 
must  recognize  things  as  they  are,  with  a  mode  of 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  81 

motion  as  the  dominant  king  of  all  nations,  and 
man  as  the  servant  under  a  law  which  is  masculine, 
dominant,  magnetic,  and  full  of  war.  Under  this 
fixed  condition  we  find  the  same  problems  perplex- 
ing all  nations,  the  same  fear  among  all  nations  of 
that  peril  which  we  call  "yellow." 

The  limit  of  masculine  dominance  evolves  the 
same  problems  within  all  national  bodies.  At  the 
limit  appears  the  question  of  supremacy  and  de- 
fence. During  the  whole  generative  era  the  mag- 
netic swing  increases.  No  law  of  construction  is 
given.  Accumulation  and  expenditure  is  the  one 
understanding  of  stability,  bigness  the  measure 
of  largeness.  Under  this  dominance  these  States 
in  America  have  piled  up  ignorant  ma j  orities ; 
under  this  dominance  we  have  responded  to  every 
cry  of  the  dominant  force  for  "more"  expansion  in 
all  expenditure  of  life  energy.  Under  this  law  of 
force,  magnetic  and  subtle,  we  have  an  ever  increas- 
ing demand  and  deficit  which  must  continue  until 
the  people  are  awakened  to  the  fact  that  these 
magnificent  majorities  define  the  negative  place  of 
the  people  before  a  mode  of  motion  born  of  a 
dominant  primitive  law. 

The  nation  is  reeling  in  an  over  expansion  of  the 
to-and-fro  motion  of  elemental  conception  of  its 
own  personality.  The  restoration  of  balance  is  a 
problem  of  the  relation  of  opposite  dual  equal  lines 
of  force.  This  problem  of  restoration  of  balance 
appears  not  only  in  the  instinctive  demand  of 
woman  for  representation  at  the  ballot  box,  the 


82  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

creative  center  of  national  life,  but  in  all  parts  of 
national  life.  Balance  will  necessarily  be  re-estab- 
lished, the  problem  will  be  to  the  intelligent,  How? 
The  relation  of  balance  is  either  generative  or  re- 
generative according  to  the  presence  of  the  Law 
in  the  instinct  or  in  the  understanding  of  the  triune 
One.  Our  problems  are  to  be  settled  right,  or  tem- 
porarily adjusted.  In  generative  adjustment  we 
will  have  temporary  balance  established  between 
positive  and  negative  force,  a  see-saw  adjustment 
with  a  result  to  be  aborted  later  in  the  history  of 
national  life.  One  of  two  laws  will  adjust  our  dif- 
ferences ;  men  and  women  will  be  figure  heads  only ; 
for  natural  law,  neither  man  nor  woman,  is  ever 
the  One  who  rules. 

In  generative  law  we  shall  have  temporary  bal- 
ance and  temporary  reform.  In  regenerative  ad- 
justment we  shall  have  balance  sustained  and  cre- 
ative plane  established  in  an  equal  relation  of  op- 
posites,  which  (we  have  nature's  word  for  it)  shall 
be  joy  and  peace. 

The  value  of  this  regenerative  relation  is  not 
that  it  may  redeem  man,  but  that  it  must  redeem 
creation;  not  that  it  gives  man  and  woman  a 
chance  to  ascend,  but  that  it  writes  the  conditions 
of  ascension  within  the  nation's  body  for  Life  and 
Law,  to  whom  be  all  glory  in  earth  and  in  heaven. 
In  regeneration  we  shall  establish  the  relations  of 
Law  in  reason;  in  generation,  in  impulse,  which 
must  again  stretch  itself  beyond  its  measure. 

Shall  not  a  scientific  age  be  scientific?    Person- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  83 

ality  must  reign  until  Law  redeems.  Where  per- 
sonality reigns  Law  is  obscured.  While  person- 
ality reigns  the  male  and  female  vision  reigns,  and 
the  life  of  Law  which  is  neither  male  nor  female 
is  imprisoned. 

While  the  generative  law  has  to  do  with  posi- 
tive and  negative  relations  of  force  the  regenera- 
tive law  has  only  to  do  with  the  equal  opposite  rela- 
tions of  the  tree  of  life  seen -from  the  midst  of  them 
in  an  equality  which  is  neither  positive  nor  nega- 
tive. The  generative  relation  being  positive  and 
negative  is  male  and  female  relation,  and  will  be 
seen  as  such,  in  the  intelligence  which  has  grown 
only  the  generative  consciousness.  The  regenera- 
tive relation  is  neither  male  nor  female,  bond  nor 
free,  for  the  one  in  the  midst  has  equalized  all  and 
is  the  glory  of  all  and  there  is  no  more  curse. 
Men  and  women  will  view  this  woman  equal-rights 
question  with  the  eye  of  one  relation  or  the  other. 
The  ignorant  will  see  the  male-female  problem ;  the 
intelligent  will  see  the  Law  and  obey  the  Law  re- 
gardless of  consequences. 

In  all  generative  period  nature  has  to  do,  and 
gives  nations  to  do,  with  a  positive  and  negative 
relation  of  force,  and  a  temporary  balance  which  is 
a  temporary  creative  plane.  In  all  nature  the 
positive  part  of  this  dual  relation  is  the  masculine 
force  and  the  negative  the  female,  and  all  dual 
form  obeys  this  generative  classification. 

In  regeneration  this  dual  division  dies  unto  life 
and  two  are  each  negative-positive,  neither  the  one 


84  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

nor  the  other  in  equilibrium,  but  one  in  and  with 
the  Law.  In  this  balance  each  is  a  life  center  for  a 
larger  centralization  under  the  law. 

Ancient  tradition  of  legendary  lore  records  for 
us  the  nature  fact  of  revelation  that,  to  the  eye  of 
Law,  the  New  Jerusalem,  lies  in  the  center  of  the 
earth,  and  here  we  have  the  bull's  eye  of  the  circle 
of  the  river  of  water  of  life.  To  normally  manifest 
this  holy  square  city  upon  the  surface  of  the  earth 
it  must  be  seen  from  the  center  of  the  earth  at  the 
heart  of  truth,  with  the  Law. 

The  problem  of  perpetuity  rests  wholly  upon 
our  knowledge  of  the  square  relation  of  the  two 
laws  of  the  One  Law  of  Life.  The  problem  is  one 
of  the  relation  of  forces,  not  the  relations  of  men 
and  women.  Shall  not  this  relation  be  defined  by 
Law?  Shall  we  seek  knowledge  of  nature  or  of 
man  ?  Shall  not  statesmanship  and  citizenship  ask : 
If  there  is  a  natural  relation  of  creative  elements 
which  is  naturally  recreative  and  regenerative  by 
virtue  of  natural  inherent  function  proceeding 
from  a  natural  relation,  shall  not  statesmanship 
then  concern  itself  with  this  fact,  and  with  the 
establishment  of  this  relation,  leaving  nature  to 
bring  forth  the  body  issuing  therefrom  by  her  own 
process?  Has  the  politician  anything  to  do  with 
this  crisis  in  the  life  of  the  republic?  Is  this 
the  problem  of  the  servant  or  of  the  master?  This 
is  the  problem  of  an  awakened  people.  The  gener- 
ative relation  of  forces  comes  unto  us;  these  rela- 
tions we  accept  by  instinct ;  and  nations  and  all  be- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  85 

ginnings  are  under  the  universal  law  of  this  auto- 
matic acceptance.  The  regenerative  relation  comes 
out  from  us,  and  is  a  result  of  a  conception  of  the 
people  with  the  Law  in  understanding. 

"Know  ye  not  brethren,  (for  I  speak  to  them 
that  know  the  law),  how  that  the  law  hath  domin- 
ion over  a  man  as  long  as  he  liveth?"  "For  Christ 
is  the  end  of  the  Law."  "And  whosoever  shall  call 
upon  the  name  of  the  Lord  shall  be  saved." 

Now  we  know  that  the  name  of  this  Lord  is  the 
name  upon  the  lips  and  in  the  hearts  of  all  lovers 
of  Liberty  and  Truth  to-day,  and  that  that  name 
is  the  word  Regeneration.  And  as  many  as  believe 
in  his  name  are  the  chosen  of  the  Law  of  a  new 
covenant:  And  there  is  no  other  name. 

Regeneration  comes  not  of  man,  but  of  man's 
union  with  the  Law  in  nature's  immaculate  concep- 
tion ;  in  this  conception  the  world  shall  pass  under 
the  Law  of  the  Woman,  silent,  obedient,  submis- 
sive unto  the  Lord  of  Life,  learning  of  him,  ask- 
ing of  him,  knowing  only  Him  in  a  union  which  is 
an  eternal  relation.  If  nature  and  man  is  to  be 
held  accountable  for  a  fall,  to  nature  and  man  be- 
longs the  glory  of  ascension  which  precedes  and 
follows  the  fall. 

Regeneration  is  not  conceived  of  man,  though  it 
comes  out  from  him,  but  is  involved  in  the  creation 
of  Life  when  the  world  was.  Regeneration  asks 
not  its  being  of  America  as  it  comes  knocking  to- 
day. It  comes  seeking  its  own.  It  was  with  the 
republic  in  the  beginning.  It  comes  seeking  to  ex- 


86  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

ternalize  its  own  relations  in  political  life ;  it  brings 
its  own  equality  that  it  may  realize  itself  in  us.  It 
brings  its  own  peace  as  a  gift  to  humanity;  it 
comes  to  take  away  the  first,  to  establish  the  first 
by  another  and  a  better  way  in  an  equilibrium 
which  is  the  promise  of  a  natural  immortality  to 
the  nation.  When  we  accepted  the  revelation: 
"The  universe  is  governed  by  law,"  did  we  think 
our  ignorant  will  could  write  the  political  life  of 
these  states  outside  the  domain  of  the  Law?  All 
creation  shall  fall  within  the  image  of  a  universal 
creation  which  is  a  universal  generative-regenera- 
tive one  in  every  form. 

"  Lo  where  arise  three  peerless  stars, 
To  be  thy  natal    stars,    my    country — Ensemble — 

Evolution — Freedom, 
Set  in  the  sky  of  Law." 

The  problem  of  regeneration,  as  it  faces  our 
national  life  to-day,  is  no  human  problem,  but  a 
problem  of  the  Lord  of  Life.  Regeneration  comes 
seeking  that  which  we  have  lost ;  and  what  is  lost  ? 
A  whole  understanding  of  the  Law  of  Life.  The 
adulterer  is  he  who  substitutes  a  part  for  a  whole, 
in  the  weight  and  measure  of  the  law.  A  part  for 
an  equal  balance. 

Now  in  our  first  covenant  with  nature  this  un- 
equal relation  is  winked  at.  Wisdom  here  recog- 
nizes equal  balance  in  some  relations,  and  admits 
the  concubine,  or  negative  conception,  knowingly, 
in  others.  The  government  of  this  first  covenant 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  87 

will  automatically,  under  the  motions  of  the  law 
of  the  first,  establish  -concubine  relations  between 
its  dual  creative  elements.  These  concubine  forces 
are  the  involved  forces,  negatives,  not  yet  grown 
to  understanding  of  the  One  Law,  forces  not  yet 
lifted  to  place  of  opposite  equality  in  union  with 
the  Husband  of  all  nature,  the  One  Law.  These 
forces  cannot  be  redeemed  and  lifted  up  within  the 
nation's  body  by  the  powers  that  be.  They  belong 
to  the  ascension  which  must  lift  up  the  self.  "Now 
will  I  arise,  now  will  I  lift  up  myself,  saith  the 
Lord."  The  exaltation  of  these  negative  creative 
forces  belongs  wholly  to  the  law;  their  only  hope 
is  in  the  One  Law.  The  concubine  element  of  civ- 
ilization, upon  every  plane  where  it  is  found,  is 
cut  off  from  lawful  creation  within  the  body  of 
life.  Concubine  creation  will  be  unholy,  unaccept- 
able to  the  Law.  Concubine  forces  cannot 
form  the  center  between  equal  opposites  which  is 
the  soul  and  the  home  of  the  Law.  They  are  un- 
represented in  the  One  triune  marriage  of  Law. 
Where  these  elements  exist  the  One  Square  Law  is 
unexpressed.  Now  a  man  may  be  the  concubine  of 
a  relation,  a  woman  may  be  the  concubine  of  a  re- 
lation, the  race  womanhood  may  be  such ;  the 
concubine  is  the  positive  negative  relation 
which  is  denied  the  marriage  of  the  One  Law 
which  is  an  holy  trinity  of  union  by  virtue  of  a 
dual  equal,  opposite  relation.  The  concubine  has^ 
no  place  in  the  regeneration.  Here  all  these  nega- 
tive forces  have  been  lifted  with  the  Law  to  reign 


88  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

with  the  Law  crowned  with  the  equal  glory  of  "my 
two  witnesses  in  all  the  earth"  which  glory  is 
"mine." 

The  concubine  relation  of  creative  elements  is 
found  everywhere  enthroned  in  the  first  covenant 
which  man's  intelligence  makes  with  life,  before 
the  advent  of  that  one  which  is  the  figure  of  the 
third,  the  ether,  in  the  brain  of  government.  When 
"the  figure  of  the  third"  is  understood  an  ether 
wave  is  awakened  in  the  brain  of  the  race ;  the  con- 
cubine dual  relation  dies  there  in  the  ascension  of 
the  Law.  This  Third  is  the  ether  wave,  and  this 
fact  will  be  found  to  be  long  and  square,  for 
"heave  offering." 

As  the  generative  covenant  is  limited  in  nature, 
and  as  the  reign  of  the  magnetic  era  is  limited  in 
nature,  so  the  reign  of  the  concubine  element  be- 
longing to  primitive  will  is  limited.  When  the 
circle  of  the  river  of  life  is  squared  from  the  midst, 
in  an  expression  of  equality,  proceeding  from 
equal  opposite  relation,  the  first  covenant  is  fin- 
ished, and  the  reign  of  the  Lord  and  His  Christ 
has  begun  in  the  Two  Kingdoms  of  the  earth.  In 
this  ascent  of  life  and  its  One  Law,  the  woman 
which  has  been  held  to  the  concubine  relation  of 
forces  has  arisen,  she  has  established  the  One  Law, 
the  Magdeline  has  become  the  Madonna,  she  who 
was  the  first  at  the  resurrection  becomes  the  last 
Mary,  the  three-in-one,  of  the  record  of  John,  the 
fourth  record,  record  of  the  one  square.  "And 
Mary  Magdeline  came  and  told,  .  .  .  that  she 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  89 

had  seen  the  Lord.  And  that  same  day  at  evening 
.  .  .  came  Jesus  and  stood  in  the  midst,  and  saith 
unto  them,  Peace  be  unto  you.  .  .  .  And  when  he 
had  so  said,  he  showed  unto  them  his  hands  and  his 
side." 

The  point  of  all  analysis  is  to  recognize  that  a 
limit  is  set  by  nature  to  the  duration  of  the  first 
relative  covenant  which  man  and  civilization  will 
automatically  make  with  nature.  Where  that  limit 
is  set,  an  intelligent  government  will  arise  to  be 
the  new  covenant,  and  the  new  Law  to  the  people, 
for  the  One  Lord  of  Hosts.  All  governments  ex- 
isting before  the  relativities  of  the  One  Law  are  es- 
tablished by  the  people  are  Pagan  governments. 

Government  is  under  the  Law  of  first  and  sec- 
ond birth,  with  all  the  earth.  The  salvation  of 
the  Law  is  given,  by  Life,  unto  all  form.  Govern- 
ment is  conceived  but  not  born  until  the  regenera- 
tive era  which  enthrones  Law  as  King,  in  all  the 
earth.  Nowhere  can  man  rule  nations.  The  reign 
of  man  throughout  all  activity  will  be  the  reign 
of  the  man  and  the  concubine.  Man  unrelated  to 
the  One  Law  will  eternally  set  up  the  concubine  re- 
lation throughout  his  kingdom.  In  all  social,  busi- 
ness, political  activity,  his  plan  will  be  a  concubine 
system  of  relations.  This  "system"  grips  the 
world  to-day.  This  "system"  America  is  called 
upon  to  overthrow,  in  the  name  of  the  One  Law, 
manifest  through  the  woman. 

In  the  regenerative  era  there  are  no  concubine 
relations,  in  brains,  hands,  or  powers.  The  "sys- 


90  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

tern"  which  has  gripped  the  financial,  social,  and 
political  world  has  gripped  the  bodies  and  brains 
of  man  and  woman.  The  power  which  is  "lost"  is 
the  power  of  the  Law  in  man.  In  the  regenerative 
relation  of  forces  the  adulterer  is  unknown.  The 
concubine  relation  makes  of  one  arm  of  the  duality 
the  concubine,  and  of  both  the  adulterer.  In  the  re- 
generation adultery  has  ceased;  here  the  only 
forces  'taken"  in  adultery,  by  the  Law,  are  "the 
elders,"  or  the  first,  original  dominant  creative  ele- 
ments. These  forces,  male,  and  naturally  first,  in 
the  generative  covenant  of  life,  in  revelation  of  the 
law,  yield  up  their  dominance  to  the  One  Law,  not 
to  the  woman. 

The  terror  of  men  to-day  seems  to  be  that  they 
are  being  called  upon  to  yield  up  their  power  to 
the  opposite  arm  of  their  problems.  They  have  no 
argument  but,  Woman  ought  not  to  usurp  author- 
ity belonging  to  men.  The  negro  will  usurp  the 
power  of  the  white  man.  Labor  will  dominate  cap- 
ital. Japan  will  dominate  America.  Fear  of  the 
opposite  arm  of  all  problems  possesses  men  to-day. 
Now  "the  elders" — in  all  civilization  which  has 
taken  the  vow  of  the  Law,  and  turned  to  the  One 
Law,  to  be  his  servant  and  acknowledge  Him  as 
King — yield  themselves  to  the  Law  without  fear, 
knowing  the  Lord  and  His  Two  Kingdoms  and  His 
One  Christ.  These  "elders"  bow  in  revelation  be- 
fore the  throne  of  the  One  Law. 

In  every  condition  of  affairs,  before  the  recog- 
nition of  the  regenerative  One,  "the  elders"  will  be 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  91 

found  accusing  the  woman,  eternally  denying  her 
access  to  the  center  born  of  Law.  Her  demand  to 
be  counted  in  that  center  will,  under  all  conditions 
of  request,  be  counted  by  "the  elder"  dominants, 
as  an  act  of  adultery  and  as  a  concubine  request. 
Give  her  access  to  the  ballot  boxes  of  the  world? 
"No,  she  will  be  there  a  concubine  element.  She 
has  no  legal  right  there,  her  sex  weaknesses  and 
sex  ballot  will  adulterate  her  home.  At  the  ballot 
box  she  will  commit  adultery — with  the  elders — if 
allowed  to  enter  the  domain  of  their  right.  Adul- 
tery is  her  favorite  crime;  to  open  the  ballot  box 
to  her  will  destroy  the  home  of  "the  elders.'  " 

And  he  "stooped  down,"  in  all  the  ages,  world 
without  end,  wherever  Life  has  sought  to  lift  up  its 
One  Law  and  Lord  of  the  regeneration, — "stooped 
down  and  with  his  fingers  wrote  upon  the  ground, 
As  though  he  heard  them  not" 

And  when  they  continued  asking,  he  lifted  up 
himself  to  ask  of  them  that  question  which  is  for- 
ever answered  in  the  silence  of  the  soul.  "And 
again  he  stooped  down  and  wrote  upon  the 
ground."  And  when  they  heard  the  voice  of  One 
from  the  dual  writing  of  the  Law  "upon  the 
ground,"  "one  by  one,  beginning  at  the  eldest, 
even  unto  the  last,"  they  depart  from  the  presence 
of  the  accusing  one  convicted  by  the  Law.  "And 
Jesus  was  left  alone,  and  the  woman  standing  in 
the  midst.  And  when  he  had  lifted  up  himself,  and 
saw  none  but  the  woman.  .  .  .  Then  spake  he 
again  unto  them:  I  am  the  light  of  the  world:  he 


92  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

that  followeth  me  shall  not  walk  in  darkness,  but 
shall  have  the  light  of  life."  "I  know  from  whence 
I  came  and  whither  I  go.  But  ye  cannot  tell 
whence  I  came  and  whither  I  go."  "I  bear  witness 
of  myself  and  the  Father  that  sent  me  beareth  wit- 
ness of  me." 

There  is  no  line  of  departure  from  the  old  gener- 
ative covenant  to  the  new  regenerative  life  save  in 
recognition  of  the  woman  standing  in  the  midst 
with  the  Law,  and  Lord  of  our  Regeneration. 

The  masculine  forces  of  life  are  forever  the  ele- 
mental, elder,  first  born,  dominant  forces  of  the 
first  covenant,  which  automatically  deny  the  rise  of 
life,  lying  opposite  the  self,  within  the  body  of 
universal  force.  This  negative  inner,  opposite 
growth  is  universally  under  the  law  of  the  woman, 
which  is  a  universally  involved  phase  of  the  One 
Law.  On  all  planes  this  inner  rising  growth  is 
mistaken  by  "the  elders"  for  the  adulterer  of  their 
domain. 

The  regenerative  coming  is  a  "second  coming" 
of  Law,  a  coming  which  lifts  up  the  first  covenant 
of  nature  to  a  testament  with  that  life  which  en- 
thrones a  fundamental  note.  This  second  coming 
is  a  nature  manifestation  belonging  to  the  intelli- 
gence which  enthrones  Art.  This  second  coming 
belongs  to  the  art  of  life.  This  coming  is  seen  to- 
day. 

Clouds  compass  the  coming :  clouds  of  fear  and 
distrust  of  neighbors  and  friends  cover  all  peoples 
and  all  nations.  The  war  rage  of  construction  is 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  98 

forced  by  the  denial  of  the  Law.  Through  the  fear 
of  nations  the  intelligence  which  must  give  birth 
to  a  normal  art  of  government  is  struggling  for 
birth.  Nature  is  calling  for  "men  of  war."  Ig- 
norance catches  the  impulse,  instinct  obeys :  nations 
are  strained,  and  people  are  robbed,  to  build  the 
ships  of  war. 

The  brain  of  man  shall  respond  to  the  call  of 
life  for  men  of  war, — to  battle  for  the  Lord  of  Life. 
Brains,  not  war  ships,  shall  establish  the  new  era. 
Understanding,  not  magnetic  instinct,  and  elemen- 
tal impulse  for  expansion.  The  war  brain  cannot 
conceive  peace.  The  cloud  of  the  second  coming  is 
a  cloud  of  ignorance  to-day,  a  cloud  which  ob- 
scures the  Son  of  the  soul. 

In  the  coming  of  the  Law  the  disarmament  of 
nations  is  forced,  the  kingdom  of  peace  is  estab- 
lished, the  light  of  Law  becomes  the  Light  of  the 
world  to  go  no  more  out  from  among  us.  This 
coming  cannot  be  seen  until,  the  woman  is  placed 
in  the  midst  with  the  Law,  there  to  stand  revealed, 
with  the  Law,  to  the  "elders." 

Woman  may  base  her  demand  for  place  at  the 
ballot  box  of  national  life  upon  the  needs  of  na- 
ture as  it  seeks  to  establish  the  relations  of  life 
which  declare  the  second  coming  of  a  regenerative 
manifestation  which  shall  establish  righteousness 
in  all  the  earth. 

Man  can  give  woman  nothing;  she  is  here  to 
take  possession  of  her  own,  for  her  Lord  and  Mas- 
ter, in  earth  as  in  heaven.  Man  cannot  give  her 


94  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  ballot ;  he  can  give  to  the  Lord  of  life,  to-day, 
the  assurance,  that  America,  in  these  United 
States,  shall  no  longer  hold  from  Him  the  ballot 
which  creation  placed  in  her  hand,  from  the  begin- 
ning. Manhood  in  America,  may  to-day,  through- 
out the  whole  nation,  at  a  word,  restore  to  Life  at 
the  ballot-box  the  broken  tables  of  the  command- 
ment. 

While  man  can  give  her  nothing,  he  may,  by 
force  of  physical  number,  deprive  her  of  her  own. 
Not  her  right  to  cast  a  ballot  is  the  primary  ques- 
tion of  right,  but  the  right  of  the  opposite  crea- 
tive element  to  say  that  she  shall  not.  Her  ballot 
is  written  from  the  beginning  with  man's  at  oppo- 
site points  of  a  circumference  to  be  cast  toward  a 
center.  President  Taft  has  recently  said: 
"When  trained  and  intelligent  women  want 
the  vote,  they  will  get  it."  How?  By  force?  How 
will  the  masculine  one  have  trained  and  intelligent 
women  prove  themselves  trained  and  intelligent? 
By  fighting?  What  is  the  meaning  of  trained  and 
intelligent?  As  trained  and  as  intelligent  as  the 
negro  when  you  enfranchised  him?  As  trained  and 
intelligent  as  the  United  States  senator  who 
thought  Pellieas  and  Melisande  was  mining  stock 
and  Mr.  Hammerstein  its  promoter? — and  was 
also  brilliantly  opposed  to  woman  suffrage?  What 
is  the  standard  to  be  lifted  up?  What  is  the  mean- 
ing of  such  argument?  Mr.  Roosevelt  has  said, 
"Woman  is  equal,  but  I  have  never  conceived  equal- 
ity to  mean  identity  of  function."  As  trained  and 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  95 

intelligent  as  that?  To  the  strained  and  ^intel- 
ligent that  ex-presidential  retort  has  the  effect  of 
sound  logic.  It  is  rooted  in  ignorance  of  the  law 
of  the  re-generation. 

Unless  the  trained  and  intelligent  woman  can 
be  answered  by  trained  and  intelligent  citizens  and  \ 
statesmen,  not  by  the  politician,  Law  has  no  re- 
dress in  her  behalf,  save  force.  Who  will  answer 
her  demand  for  the  ballot  to-day?  The  trained 
and  intelligent  natural  lawyer,  or  the  liquor  traf- 
fic, trained  and  licensed  to  intelligently  and  effec- 
tually suppress  her  voice  at  the  ballot  box  where 
it  is  king?  Who  will  hear  her  demand  and  who  will 
answer?  The  trained  and  intelligent  citizen  or  the 
political  machine?  Will  her  demand  be  answered 
by  Thought  and  understanding  of  the  fundamen- 
tal note  of  Democracy  to  be  lifted  up  in  her  eman- 
cipation, or  will  she  be  answered  by  a  mode  of  mo- 
tion which  does  the  same  thing  automatically,  at 
the  same  time  in  the  same  place  under  the  same  law 
world  without  end? 

A  trained  and  intelligent  womanhood  approaches 
the  dominant  force  from  which  she  is  to  receive  per- 
mission to  cast  Life's  ballot  to-day,  conscious  of  a 
mighty  injustice  to  God  and  his  Son  in  her  exclu- 
sion by  an  opposite  force  from  the  place  where 
loyalty  to  native  land  and  patriotism  is  planted. 
Injustice  obscures  reason  at  the  limit  and  substi- 
tues  force.  This,  unless  America  awake,  is  the 
natural  course  of  events.  Reason  must  assume  the 
garment  force,  where  naked  reason  is  despised. 


96  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Men  have  held  this  argument  to  a  plane  of  senti- 
ment, refusing  it  access  to  the  place  of  reason 
where  Law  reigns.  Man  cannot  protect  woman  at 
the  ballot  box.  Her  protection  is  in  the  Law  of 
her  own  being.  Her  protection  is  in  her  original 
relation  to  Life  and  Law.  She  asks  for  the  protec- 
tion of  her  Law,  not  for  the  sentimental  excuse; 
**I  will  take  care  of  you"  She  comes  to  the  ballot 
box  conscious  of  the  nature  fact  that  within  her 
lies  manifestation  of  a  higher  and  a  better  admin- 
istration in  the  Law.  She  comes  with  an  under- 
standing, hers  by  inheritance.  There  is  to  be  no 
cessation  in  her  approach  here,  or  in  the  world,  no 
abating  of  her  demand ;  this  is  the  seige  of  Troy. 

First,  with  reason,  tender-eyed  and  strong,  she 
makes  her  appeal.  To  whom?  Her  husband,  her 
father,  her  brother,  her  lover,  her  employer,  her 
servants.  That  these  may  be  lifted  up?  No. 
That  she  may  be  lifted  up?  No.  For  what  ?  That 
the  creative  proportions,  conditions  and  relations 
may  be  established  at  the  nation's  creative  center 
whereby :  /  may  be  lifted  up  from  the  earth  draw- 
ing att  men  unto  me. 

The  body  of  the  Law  arises  without  blood ;  it  has 
bone  and  structure  and  speech  and  relation,  but  is 
without  blood;  it  hat  ghed  its  blood  as  ft  becomes 
an  ascending  form  to  be  seen  of  men,  and  estab- 
lished upon  earth  by  men. 

Woman  comes  to  the  ballot  box  to  form  for  life 
the  body  of  Law,  a  body  with  bone  and  structure, 
in  which  lif e  may  normally  seek  ascension  from  the 


97 

heart  of  the  earth.  This  body  ever  formed  is  not 
under  the  law  of  conception,  but  of  resurrection, 
ever  going  away  to  come  again.  Wherever  domi- 
nance of  one  is  found,  the  self  center,  which  has 
denied  the  One  Lord  of  Life,  is  found.  Degener- 
acy climbed  to  the  brain  establishes  a  national  mode 
of  motion,  which  imprisons  the  Law.  Degeneracy 
establishes  the  masculine  part  over  the  whole. 

Democracy  faces,  and  has  ever  faced,  but  one 
danger,  in  all  the  earth,  and  that,  ignorance  of  the 
One  way  of  escape  from  the  oppressions  of  a  domi- 
nant force,  an  oppression  which  is  a  natural  func- 
tion of  dominance.  At  the  limit  of  this  domi- 
nance, man's  way  shall  be  Life's  way.  At  the  limit, 
the  generative  or  the  magnetic  law,  shall  yield  to 
the  emancipation  of  inherent  force,  and  Law  shall 
establish  its  own  inherent  regeneration. 

The  pride  of  Lucifer  is  the  pride  of  generative 
law.  The  positive  one  of  the  generative  era  is  as 
proud  as  Lucifer  of  supposed  rights.  At  the  limit 
this  pride  manifests  itself  in  a  most  ludicrous  fash- 
ion. This  "pride"  is  arming  the  nations  of  the 
world  against  enemies  made  of  the  stuff  dreams  are 
made  of. 

The  national  navy  is  to-day  the  prided  peacock 
of  our  intelligence  with  an  hundred  eyes  trailing 
the  dust.  The  hundred  eyes  of  the  man  Argus  are 
in  his  head  and  he  uses  two  at  once.  Pride  vested 
in  "national  supremacy"  upon  the  high  seas  is  the 
pride  of  that  intelligence  which  is  ashamed  of  the 
One  Law  and  its  demands.  The  presence  of  the 


98  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

regeneration  is  seen,  not  in  the  problem  of  "su- 
premacy" to-day,  but  in  the  rise  of  those  forces 
which  make  the  "signs"  and  are  marked  negatives 
in  relation  to  the  affairs  of  nations, — forces  which 
have  held,  and  been  fastened  to  the  places  marked, 
servants  of  a  dominant  system.  These  are  the 
forces  which  are  outside  the  Inn.  Inner  elements, 
negative  physical  forces,  give  the  creative  center 
for  the  advent  of  the  new  Law.  The  regenerative 
life  will  appear  among  these  elements  to  be  recog- 
nized among  these  forces,  by  those  who  are  wise 
with  the  wisdom  of  the  Law.  And  the  "wise"  will 
be  the  "trained  and  intelligent"  who  know  the  rule 
of  three. 

The  second  writing,  Taxation  without  Represen- 
tation is  Tyranny,  is  to-day  upon  the  ground  be- 
fore the  "elder"  rulers.  The  second  birth  in  all  prob- 
lems turns  back  the  intelligence,  to  till  the  original 
ground.  Why  the  refusal  of  the  manhood  of  the 
republic  to  look  upon  the  ground  from  which  tKe 
republic  sprang?  Why  deny  this  second  writing 
of  a  creative  principle?  Because  the  dominant 
elder,  masculine  forces  of  all  creation,  in  all  ages, 
world  without  end,  will,  automatically  and  eter- 
nally, deny  the  second  one  of  the  universal  Law, 
and  will  refuse  under  the  dominion  of  an  inherent 
mode  of  motion  the  second  advent  of  the  first,  by 
which  the  first  is  made  whole  and  the  world  is 
lifted  up. 

The  original  elemental  one  becomes  the  force, 
throughout  nature,  which  is  "compelled"  to  carry 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  99 

up  the  relation  which  is  a  cross  of  opposite  forces, 
to  Golgotha,  the  place  where  the  One  Law  is  en- 
throned and  Life  is  victor.  This  place  where  one  is 
compelled  is  a  vital  place  in  the  history  of  the  art 
of  life.  There  is  a  "one  Simon"  forever  among 
elemental  forces,  and  "him  they  compelled." 

The  dominant  motion  of  an  elemental  law  be- 
comes the  motion  of  all  mental  action  which  we  call 
Thought.  Where  Thought  is,  the  One  triune 
square  Law  must  be.  Mind  is  a  positive  magnetic 
force,  with  the  will  and  motion  of  the  magnet  en- 
throned within  all  its  activities.  The  magnetic  ele- 
ment forms  self  center ;  it  does  not  create.  During 
the  generative  era  of  the  first  Old  Testament 
covenant,  "All  is  Mind,"  in  very  truth,  damnable 
truth. 

In  the  regenerative  era  mind  and  its  motion  has 
been  chained,  and  imprisoned,  and  beheaded,  and 
compelled,  and  All  is  Law  and  its  relation  of  Holy 
Trinity  which  knows  no  dominance  and  whose  sym- 
bol is  the  Dove  of  Noah.  For  the  alighting  of  this 
Dove  upon  a  nation,  time  waits,  to-day.  A  nation 
to  be  filled  with  the  whole  spirit  of  The  One  Life 
of  Law, — a  spirit  which  shall  enthrone  wisdom  and 
reason  upon  that  rock  of  understanding  which  de- 
fines the  woman  standing  in  the  midst  of  all  law 
and  order,  in  all  creations  born  of  God  and  the 
Lord  God. 

This  problem  of  the  emancipation  of  woman  is 
no  human  political  one.  This  is  a  problem  of  the 
ascension  of  life.  No  man  problem,  but  a  problem 


100  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

in  which  is  evolved  the  fall  or  the  ascension  of  a 
world.  Woman's  readiness  is  no  part  of  the  ques- 
tion. Woman  has  already  heard  "my  voice."  She 
is  knocking  at  the  door  of  all  governments,  clothed 
with  the  will  of  the  Law.  Woman  is  asking.  Law 
is  commanding.  This  has  become  a  problem  of  the 
readiness  of  men  only.  Men  ask:  "Is  she  trained 
and  intelligent  enough?"  Is  Man  trained  and  in- 
telligent enough?  is  the  question  of  Life. 

"In  the  states  where  she  has  been  tested  the  re- 
sults do  not  warrant  an  extension  of  liberty  to  her 
in  the  political  field,  she  has  accomplished  noth- 
ing." What  did  the  dove  of  the  ark  ever  accom- 
plish in  the  record  of  her  first  going  out?  "She 
accomplished  nothing."  Nothing?  She  stopped 
the  to-and-fro  motion  of  the  raven,  she  established 
new  relations,  she  felt  a  new  earth,  she  laid  a 
straight  square  foundation,  she  discovered  a  new 
mode  of  motion,  she  brought  to  the  Law,  in  the 
third  evolution  of  that  motion,  a  symbol  of  Christ, 
a  symbol  of  Peace  on  Earth.  She  brought  THE 
BRANCH  of  a  new  testament  written  in  a  new  world. 
She  saw  a  relation  between  that  BRANCH  and  NOAH, 
and  brought  it  unto  the  masculine  nature  Seed 

The  United  States  is  ready  to  become  United 
America.  We  are  ready  to  settle  this  problem  as 
Sons  of  God  to-day,  and  reach,  like  men,  to  shel- 
ter and  protect  and  save  American  womanhood 
from  the  war  she  must  fight  for  the  release  of  a 
Law,  for  which  appearing  all  the  forces  of  acsend- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  101 

ing  life  now  wait.  For  this  release  she  must  fight 
unless  reason  be  enthroned  within  the  will  of  the 
powers  which  have  taken  her  will  from  the  will  of 
the  Law  of  Life. 

It  is  not  woman  alone  who  is  to  be  lifted  up  in 
this  enfranchisement,  neither  is  it  man.  It  is  that 
Life  which  is  imprisoned  "in  the  midst  of  them." 
The  problem  is  a  circular  one.  Without  your 
original  figure  naught,  the  central  point  of  this 
figure  and  its  opposite  points  of  circumference, 
you  will  miss  the  point  that  from  the  center  every 
one  has  inherited  the  whole  earth,  and  every  man 
and  every  problem  has  inherited  the  same  circular 
form.  Without  your  "naught"  first,  in  the  crea- 
tion of  Thought  your  reason  will  have  a  founda- 
tion of  sand, — a  magnetic  action  in  the  brain  which 
claims  to  be  thought.  Thought  is  born  of  Law. 
Wherever  Law  is  Thought  is.  Wherever  mystery 
is  the  absence  of  Law  is.  Wherever  there  is  no  ap- 
peal to  Law  you  have  a  magnetic  to-and-fro  mo- 
tion in  the  brain  obscuring  the  One  Law  to  eventu- 
ally substitute  personality  for  Law 

Without  the  center  between  opposites  in  all 
vision  there  is  no  revelation  of  that  relation  of  the 
creative  law, — defined  in  all  ages  as  a  relation  of 
holy  trinity, — which  must  reveal  one  in  the  midst, 
sustaining  and  being  sustained  eternally  by  "Two 
witnesses,"  known  in  understanding  as  "My  Two 
witnesses  in  all  the  earth."  That  which  is  true  is 
universal ;  we  look,  therefore,  for  the  supreme  rev- 
elation of  the  law,  first,  in  physical  nature  the 
flesh  of  Law. 


102  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Man,  during  the  reign  of  the  generative  law  in 
his  brain,  sees  a  heaven  beyond',  he  is  journeying 
from  the  center  toward  a  circumference.  His 
Heaven  is  up,  up,  up.  In  regeneration  he  turns, 
at  the  limit:  he  hears  the  brother's  voice  calling 
"from  the  ground,"  hears  the  one  imprisoned: 
"And  I  if  I  be  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  will  draw 
all  men  unto  me."  He  learns  from  one  opposite 
that  there  is  one  in  the  midst,  which  is  forever  the 
spirit  of  the  regeneration  of  all.  The  heaven, 
which  was  "up,"  then  becomes  the  heaven  "withvn." 
From  the  midst  he  sees  one  and  two  opposite,  sees 
the  two  arms  of  the  one  soul. 

A  basic  law  of  construction  is  the  basic  law  con- 
struction. Thought  has  constructive  creative 
process  in  its  own  bringing  forth.  Thought  has 
foundation  and  apex,  and  lily  work  upon  the  dome, 
written  within.  This  suffrage  problem  is  a  prob- 
lem of  fundamental  constructive  relation.  Rela- 
tion to  be  established,  not  by  force  or  by  tears,  but 
by  Thought  born  of  God  and  the  woman.  Thought 
has  constructive  geometrical  process  which  com- 
mands the  erection  of  a  figure.  Thought  squares 
the  circle  to  circle  the  square  with  the  round  life 
of  all.  By  lifting  up  the  fifth,  or  central  point 
of  the  square,  thought  arrives  naturally  at  the 
pyramid  of  life  and  its  sphere.  Man  is  commanded 
by  nature  to  bring  forth  the  woman,  always  lying 
within  and  always  opposite  the  man  in  all  forms, 
in  all  problems.  Why  count  the  women?  That 
the  man  and  the  woman  of  every  form  and  every 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  10S 

force  and  every  part  may  bring  forth  the  central 
power  to  manifestation  in  two  lying  opposite  at  a 
circumference.  Thus,  and  thus  only,  is  the  cen- 
tral Christ  of  nature  lifted  up.  The  denial  of 
one  of  the  dual  arms  of  the  Christ  is  the  denial  of 
the  one  in  the  midst.  Here  the  whole  Christ  prin- 
ciple of  natural  law  is  written  by  Life. 

The  whole  victory  of  natural  regeneration  is  the 
victory  of  seeing  the  relations  and  the  directions 
of  the  One  Law  as  one-in-three,  and  three-in-one. 
This  the  whole  vision,  this  the  whole  vision  and  the 
holy  See.  This  victory  of  the  See  must  be  uni- 
versal for  the  law  is  universal,  belonging  to  gov- 
ernments and  to  brains.  The  woman  problem 
brings  the  command  that  one  in  the  midst  of  two 
be  recognized  and  enthroned  to  enthrone  "My  two 
witnesses." 

Man,  who  would  follow  the  holy  See  in  all 
thought,  must  have  the  hundred  eyes  of  that  myth- 
ical reality  Argus,  remembering  that  while  he  has 
an  hundred  eyes  he  uses  but  Two  at  once ;  an  hun- 
dred eyes  are  tributary  to  Two.  And  these  two 
eyes  must  know  the  man  and  the  woman  of  all 
forms,  for  each  has  law  and  mode  of  motion,  not 
separate  but  transverse,  establishing  a  Greek  cross 
in  invisible  lines  of  force,  a  cross  to  reveal  a  square 
triune  life  lifted  up. 

Now  nature  has  for  its  own  the  man,  magnetic 
energy,  and  the  woman  Ether,  and  these  are  "my 
Two  witnesses"  Science  is  struggling  to  establish 
that  relation  of  holy  trinity  between  these  which 


104  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

shall  conserve  the  fruit  of  either  side,  from  the 
midst  of  the  circle  of  life. 

Woman,  recognizing  always  the  straight  line  of 
relation,  has  brought  the  universal  scientific  prob- 
lem to  the  governments  of  the  world.  Her  fail- 
ure will  be  an  ominous  sign  in  the  scientific  sky ;  her 
success,  the  ascension  of  a  world,  a  re-birth,  the 
restoration  of  the  lost.  "Can  ye  not  discern  the 
signs  of  the  times  ?" 

There  may  be  failure  and  delay  among  other 
nations.  There  need  be  neither  failure  nor  delay 
in  America.  Here  Liberty  is  normally  born  to  be 
normally  reborn.  This  the  quick  nation.  This 
the  soil  which  has  produced  the  prophet  of  "the 
regeneration,"  he  who  saw  "The  Square  Deific" 
from  the  center  of  that  "Square"  to  declare  "the 
general  Soul."  The  soil  which  has  grown  a  Whit- 
man must,  in  a  natural  order,  grow  to  reality  his 
vision  of  the  equality  of  opposites. 

"  I  myself  but  write  one  or  two  indicative  words  for 

the  future, 
I  but  advance  a  moment,  only  to  wheel  and  hurry 

back  in  the  darkness  ....  expecting  the  main 

things  of  you. 
Not  to-day  is  to  justify  me,  and  answer  what  I  am 

for; 
But  you,  a  new  brood,  native,  athletic,  continental, 

greater  than  before  known, 
Arouse.     Arouse — for  you  must  justify    me — you 

must  answer." 

This  woman  movement  and  its  final  solution  be- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  105 

longs  to  the  motions  of  the  Life  regenerative, 
which  motion  is  defined  as  the  Life  of  revelation 
and  "Behold  I  come  quickly  and  Lo  my  reward  is 
with  me." 

The  Constitution  of  the  United  States  enfran- 
chises neither  man  nor  woman ;  it  enfranchises  Lib- 
erty and  Law.  The  State  fight  into  which  this 
conflict  is  forcing  woman  is  "a  plague  on  both  your 
houses,"  and  a  disgrace  to  the  manhood  of  the  na- 
tion. The  Constitution  is  a  fundamental  nature 
form.  It  therefore  has  an  involution  which  will 
naturally  struggle  for  birth  at  "a  limit  of  growth 
period."  All  involution  is  under  the  Ether,  or  the 
woman  law,  which  "passeth  and  goeth  through  all 
things."  At  the  physical  expansive  limit,  a  "day 
spring"  opens  every  generative  womb  of  nature, 
giving  normal  birth  to  the  involved  birth.  "Go 
thy  way  to  a  woman  with  child,  and  ask  her  when 
she  hath  fulfilled  her  nine  months,  if  her  womb 
may  keep  the  birth  any  longer  within  her."  .  .  . 
"Even  so  do  these  places  haste  to  deliver  those 
things  that  are  committed  unto  them." 

Within  the  body  of  the  constitution,  against 
the  heart  of  its  life  lies  the  ballot  of  womanhood 
to  be  brought  forth  from  and  by  a  native  man- 
hood and  the  breath  of  Law.  Wherever  the  dual- 
ity exists  slavery  exists ;  where  slavery  is,  the  mas- 
ter is.  Escape  from  the  duality  (which  is  the  orig- 
inal curse  of  the  original  law,  falling  heavily  upon 
the  woman  of  the  dual  relation,  in  all  the  universe) 
is  by  the  way  of  the  triune  one.  Now  the  figure 


106  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

of  this  straight  and  narrow  way — 'the  figure  of 
the  third" — falls  in  the  midst  of  one  and  two.  In 
the  regeneration  there  is  no  succession,  but  a  con- 
tinual turning  back  to  the  triune  straight  figure  of 
the  Law. 

Succession  gives  no  authority,  without  a  return 
to  the  fundamental  note.  At  set  times  the  funda- 
mental is  to  be  lifted  up  and  written  at  the  right 
hand,  as  the  dominant  seed  of  a  new  progression. 
Thus  progressive  number  is  born.  The  expression 
of  every  Nine  commands  the  return  of  the  funda- 
mental one  to  the  seed  0.  After  nine  nature  com- 
mands 0,  the  seed  of  beginning,  to  be  10. 

The  soul  problem  of  the  One  Law  is  a  problem 
of  equal  taxation.  Wherever  one  dominates,  soul 
is  destroyed  between  opposites.  In  the  soul  two 
forces  are  represented  with  the  Lord  of  the  midst, 
and  neither  is  taxed  save  by  the  pole  tax  of  normal 
globular  construction.  In  the  soul  all  burdens  are 
naturally  taken  by  the  Law,  save  that  tax  imposed 
by  nature,  upon  two,  to  maintain  the  balance  of 
two  in  theLaw. 

In  the  regeneration  woman  is  taxed  teith  man 
as  she  presents  the  child  Regeneration  in  the  Tem- 
ple of  the  One  Law.  As  man's  tax  is  to  bring 
forth  two,  so  also  is  her  command.  Man  is  com- 
manded by  nature  to  bring  forth  the  woman. 
Woman's  obligation  to  life  is  to  bring  forth  and 
support,  not  man  but  the  One  Law.  As  in  the 
generation  she  gave  birth  to  him,  in  the  regenera- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  107 

tion  he  gives  birth  to  her,  that  she  may  bring 
forth,  for  him,  with  him,  the  body  of  the  One  Law. 
As  each  arm  of  the  duality  obeys  the  Law,  going 
up  in  the  ascension  of  life,  to  be  taxed,  Four  Char- 
iots are  born  of  two  mountains,  and  the  circle  of 
life  is  square. 

The  business  of  man  is  not  the  business  of  dom- 
inance in  political,  social  or  religious  life.  The 
business  of  woman  is,  nowhere  in  life,  the  business 
of  dominance.  The  dual  tax  for  the  law  is  ever 
upon  each,  that  One  shall  be  King  in  the  affairs 
of  life.  Man  supports  the  woman,  woman  sup- 
ports the  Law,  and  so  the  ascension  of  service 
writes  all  men  free  and  equal  laborers  in  the  vine- 
yard of  life,  and  each  man  under  his  own  ascend- 
ing vine  to  reap  the  wine  of  life. 

The  business  of  the  Law  is  also  dual,  for  the 
Law  is  "himself  subject  to  the  Law."  The  tax  is 
upon  the  One  of  the  midst,  to  establish  "my  two 
witnesses,"  and  the  Law  cannot  fail;  heaven  and 
earth  may  pass  away,  but  the  word  of  the  Law  en- 
dureth  forever. 

Life  imposes  the  dual  tax  upon  man  and  the 
dual  tax  upon  woman  and  the  dual  tax  upon  the 
Law;  and  here  we  have  the  whole  creative  duty, 
marked  as  six  whole  creative  days  in  one  day. 
"Surely  I  come  quickly."  And  the  sower  and  the 
reaper  are  one. 

Generation  in  all  nature  has  to  do  with  limita- 
tion. Generation  cannot  create  liberty  Generation 
involves  but  cannot  bring  forth  liberty.  That 


108  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

which  is  involved  from  the  beginning  must  wait 
its  birth  in  a  natural  order, — an  order  which  en- 
thrones the  involution  of  the  generated  form  by 
the  birth  of  a  Law  which  is  in  the  midst  of  all  in- 
volution-evolution, enthroning  all  that  was  in- 
volved in  the  beginning. 

The  normal  generative  birth  involves  the  birth 
which  is  a  regeneration  to  be  born  of  inherent  in- 
volved life.  The  fullness  of  liberty  belongs  to  the 
regenerative  birth  involved  in  the  generated  form. 
The  Constitution  of  these  States  is  the  generated 
form  of  Liberty.  The  regenerative  form  restates 
the  fundamental  form  by  externalizing  its  involved 
triune  relations:  it  brings  nothing  new  save  new 
relations,  which  reincarnate  the  generated  form. 

The  fundamental  is  always  the  central  one,  the 
alphabetical  third,  the  middle  C  of  a  key  board. 
The  regenerative  scale,  like  the  natural  generative 
evolution,  begins  at  C.  The  first  note  of  the  scale 
is  the  third  alphabetical  principle  which  lies  at 
the  root  of  all,  but  which  is  enthroned  in  the  under- 
standing by  the  regenerative  or  second  birth  as 
an  holy  See. 

The  Constitution  of  the  United  States  is  a  law, 
written  by  the  One  Law.  It  is  written  for  the  re- 
generation of  the  generation.  We  have  applied 
it  solely  to  the  generative  form  which  has  no  power 
in  itself  to  see  the  second  triune  birth,  written 
within  and  by  the  first  form.  Liberty,  under  this 
constitution,  is  not  yet  born.  Liberty  is  involved 
in  the  regeneration  which  rests  upon  the  fifth  prin- 
ciple of  the  square. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  109 

Did  the  Founders  intend  to  enfranchise  woman? 
Never!  is  the  answer  coming  from  north,  south, 
east  and  west.  The  Constitution  of  the  United 
States  was  not  written  for  men  or  for  women.  It 
was  written  for  the  Law  of  Liberty.  It  was  writ- 
ten to  enfranchise  Liberty  for  all  time.  It  gives 
the  ballot  to  neither  man  nor  woman,  it  gives  power 
to  neither  right  nor  left,  it  gives  power  to  the  one 
of  the  midst,  it  enthrones  the  center  of  opposites 
in  the  square. 

Wherever  soul  is  written  two  are  enthroned  in  "a 
square  deific."  The  Republic  of  America  is  yet  a 
purely  physical  body,  the  Constitution  of  the 
United  States  is  a  purely  spiritual  law,  a  soul  law. 
Nowhere  is  the  soul  born  until  the  woman  is  given 
the  liberty  of  the  Law.  The  liberty  of  Law  is  the 
right  of  ascension.  When  the  soul  is  born  the 
woman  is  enfranchised  with  the  Law.  Our  question 
is  not,  What  did  the  Founders  mean?  Our  ques- 
tion is,  What  did  Life  mean? 

The  Founders  met  the  proposition,  Taxation 
without  Representation  is  Tyranny.  They  met  the 
problem,  given  by  nature,  in  the  generative  era  of 
this  nation.  We  now  face  the  dual  writing  on  the 
ground.  We  face  a  foundation  era  under  a  newly 
discovered  law  of  creative  relations.  We  face  the 
place,  in  an  order  of  progression,  where  life  com- 
mands that  the  fundamental  one  shall  be  lifted  up. 
To-day  life  is  finishing  and  perfecting  the  scale 
of  original  creation. 

Nations  before  have  stood  where  America  stands 


110  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

to-day.  Here  we  obey  the  call  of  the  Times,  or 
life  itself  builds  about  our  progress  that  Chinese 
wall  which,  written  by  the  generative  law,  binds 
the  feet  of  the  woman  in  the  brain  of  a  race. 

Federal  control  assumes  the  existence  of  an  in- 
telligence in  the  head,  larger,  for  the  time  being, 
than  the  intelligence  of  the  body.  Federal  con- 
trol can  only  exist  in  a  republic  as  a  war  measure. 
The  war  measure  is  directed  toward  the  body  of 
the  nation  only  when  that  body  is  in  a  state  of  dis- 
ease. The  war  measure  belongs  wholly  to  the  re- 
generative law,  and  to  that  motion  of  this  Law 
which  declares:  "I  come  quickly."  Federal  con- 
trol is  the  war  measure  which  enfranchises  the  Law. 

The  womanhood  of  these  states  appears  to-day 
with  a  vast  petition  at  the  door  of  a  dual  congress 
of  a  square  constitutional  government  asking  the 
exercise  of  the  war  measure,  in  her  behalf,  for  the 
union  of  the  people  with  the  Law  is  destroyed. 
She  asks  by  decree  of  Congress  for  the  ballot 
which  is  written  in  the  soul  of  liberty,  by  the  Con- 
stitution which  is  the  generative  and  the  regener- 
ative word  of  the  One  Law.  She  asks  to  be  allowed 
to  take  possession  of  her  own.  She  asks  that  birth 
to  citizenship  which  is  her  birthright,  under  the 
law  of  her  life.  She  asks  for  America  that  life 
more  abundant,  which  comes  quickly.  She  asks 
that  Congress  will  be  at  this  hour  the  intelligence, 
not  yet  attained  by  the  State.  She  asks  the  Con- 
gress of  these  states  to  be  the  Law,  the  figure  of 
the  third,  over  all. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  111 

The  Constitution  of  the  United  States  builds  the 
natural  creative  plane  for  life  and  holds  that 
plane.  Under  the  constitution,  no  One,  whether 
person,  sex,  president  or  party,  can  have  unre- 
strained power.  Under  the  Constitution  the  as- 
sumption of  such  power  is  usurpation.  The  Con- 
stitution is  the  word  of  freedom,  justice,  and  life. 
Yet,  under  this  Constitution,  by  no  authority  and 
in  violation  of  its  fundamental  purpose,  embodied 
in  a  lawful  declaration  of  rights,  men  have  defined 
citizenship  as  male,  crowning  the  masculine  arm  of 
life  with  the  seal  of  self -protection  which  is  called 
a  vote.  To  a  limit  the  sin  is  not  man's.  Eternally 
the  masculine  force  under  the  magnetic  law  must 
automatically  seek  to  enthrone  the  self,  defining 
truth  for  the  world,  eternally  claiming  "authority" 
for  usurpation  from  God  himself.  This  authority 
is  the  authority  of  a  law  with  a  primitive  Satanic 
mode  of  motion.  This  mode  of  motion  is  now  to 
be  destroyed  with  knowledge  of  the  law  of  the 
Ether.  Nowhere  in  nature  is  there  an  escape  from 
the  dual  tax  upon  the  understanding  which  lies  in 
the  square  one  if  man  would  attain  unto  wisdom 
and  authority  given  by  the  One  Law,  escaping 
from  the  dominion  of  self  selected  authority.  This 
self  selection  of  man  as  the  authority  of  a  square 
constitutional  government  is  a  natural  selection 
from  which  the  regeneration  will  naturally  free 
civilization.  Man's  selection  of  himself  as  the 
triune  one  ruler  is  the  primitive  adaptation  of  the 
law  of  natural  selection,  during  the  generative  era. 
This  selection  destroys  the  square. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

This  is  the  natural  animal  selection  of  positive 
force.  This  the  papal,  self -selection  of  the  fire  or 
generative  plane  of  Law.  There  is  no  temporal 
power  in  it.  The  regeneration  cuts  out  this  self- 
selected  authority,  enthroning  One  four  square  by 
a  natural  evolution,  selecting  as  the  one  "author- 
ity" of  earth  and  its  heaven  the  Law  whose  central 
name  is  One,  manifest  in  the  dual  flesh  of  nations 
to  be  known  of  all  mankind. 

The  authority  of  Satan  is  purely  a  masculine 
authority,  denying  in  all  places  the  authority  of 
Law.  The  terror  of  life  is  the  authority  of  the 
first  naturally  selected  one, — an  authority  mascu- 
line in  all  its  motions  and  signs,  itself  the  prisoner 
of  the  law,  by  self -selection.  The  primitive  law 
has  one  system  of  authority  in  all  the  earth,  and 
that  the  usurpation  of  the  one  central  place  which 
belongs  wholly  to  the  square  triune  Law  and  is 
the  Law's  eternal  portion  in  all. 

0,  the  wisdom  of  Goethe !  when  he  puts  into  the 
mouth  of  Mephistopheles  the  words: 

"  Surely  it  would  not  be 
A  contradiction  in  mythology 
Just  to  compress  the  triple  essence  into 
A  smaller  compass.     Let  the  three  be  two, 
Consign  to  me  the  figure  of  the  third 
For  a  little  while." 

Wherever  in  nature  we  have  "the  figure  of  the 
third"  consigned  "to  me,"  we  have  a  restatement 

of     the     primitive     authority 10P. 

The  two  elemental    laws,    ether    and    magnetism, 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  113 

are  the  two  mountains  of  nature.  Every  man  is 
the  symbol  figure  of  the  two  laws.  Every  woman 
is  the  symbol  figure  of  the  two  laws.  Every  man, 
every  woman  is  from  these  two  to  bring  forth  the 
square.  Every  problem  and  every  nation  is  under 
the  law  of  these  two  elemental  laws. 

The  ether  is  "the  mother  of  all  living."  There 
is  no  lawful  reform  save  that  reform  which  lays  all 
problems  upon  the  bosom  of  the  Mother  of  nature. 
There  is  no  denial,  or  usurpation,  or  slavery,  in 
the  reign  of  the  ether.  The  original  dominant 
leader  upon  all  planes  of  life  is  to  be  lifted  up  to 
the  One  Law,  enthroning  that  Law. 

The  motion  of  ascension  today  carries  the  wheel 
of  life  backward, — back  and  back,  with  larger 
brain  and  fuller  understanding,  to  the  central 
mount  of  life,  where  Law  itself  is  transfigured  and 
where  the  original  leader  stands  figured  with  the 
Christ,  clothed  with  the  glory  of  the  whole  triune 
Law.  The  original  law  is  in  the  transfiguration 
of  the  regeneration.  "And  suddenly  when  they 
had  looked  round  about,  they  saw  no  man  any 
more,  save  Jesus  only  with  themselves." 

The  day  dawns  when  human  intelligence  shall 
see  "no  man  any  more,"  and  the  one  involved  from 
the  beginning  shall  cover  all  in  a  transfiguration 
written  in  normal  triune  relation  at  a  place  which 
is  an  High  place. 

"  O  the  ship,  the  immortal  ship :  O  ship  aboard  the 

ship : 

Ship  of  the  body — ship  of  the  soul — voyaging,  voy- 
aging, voyaging." 


114  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

We  have  had  to  do  only  with  duality  and  a  to- 
and-fro  motion  of  magnetic  energy.  We  are  now 
to  know  the  triune  One,  and  see  the  One  Law  and 
Lord  of  Life.  Magnetic  energy,  forming  the 
center  in  the  self,  has  obscured  and  usurped  the 
one  square  Law  through  all  planes  of  thought  and 
action.  We  are  passing,  in  all  nature,  from  the 
dominion  of  magnetic  fire  to  the  reign  of  the 
ethers:  all  problems  keep  pace  with  this  passage 
through  the  Red  Sea  of  nature. 

At  a  head,  which  is  a  mountain  top  or  a  limit  of 
expansion,  the  leadership  of  magnetic  energy  is 
cut  off  and  the  Lord  God  is  triumphant  in  the  son 
of  the  woman.  "Till  Heaven  and  earth  pass,  one 
jot  or  one  tittle  shall  in  no  wise  pass  from  the  law, 
till  all  is  fulfilled." 

Today  all  devilish  expansion,  devilish  protec- 
tion, devilish  usurpation,  and  devilish  authority, 
is  at  an  end;  it  is  the  limit.  Magnetic  energy 
moves  with  the  whirlwind,  the  bluster,  the  noise  of 
threat,  the  thunder  crash; — the  ether  falls  as  the 
gentle  dew  from  heaven  with  hidden  manna. 

Under  the  inspiration  of  the  rising  law,  men,  as 
servants  of  that  law,  may  today,  in  these  states, 
enfranchise  womanhood,  north,  south,  east  and 
west,  without  conflict,  without  battle  array,  and 
without  clash  of  arms.  This  problem  brings  the 
nation  the  opportunity  of  life  in  which  lies  "life 
more  abundant."  Woman  comes  to  the  Ship  of 
State,  under  the  law  of  Peace,  to  bring  Peace.  Her 
emancipation  should  be  holy  unto  the  Law.  She 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  115 

brings  unto  the  house  of  Simon  the  Leper  a  box 
of  very  precious  ointment ;  and  already  the  house 
is  filled  "with  the  odor  of  the  ointment."  The  Law 
of  Life  is  moving  in  all  nature  from  the  Old  Testa- 
ment record  of  its  being,  on  through  the  new,  con- 
ceiving and  enthroning  there  the  Son  of  the 
woman,  "made  under  the  law." 

Woman  is  fleeing  from  an  abnormal  relation 
toward  a  normal  one.  Fear  not,  all  things  are  ab- 
normal until  she  has  brought  forth  the  child  of  her 
being,  gotten  of  the  Law, — the  child,  Peace.  Her 
face  is  set  toward  the  normal  things  of  a  new  law. 
Today  she  is  a  nobleman,  gone  into  a  far  country, 
to  return.  The  return  is  as  sure  as  the  going  away. 
"He  said,  therefore,  a  certain  nobleman  went  into 
a  far  country  to  receive  for  himself  a  kingdom, 
and  to  return." 

She  is  conceiving  with  the  One  Law,  and  the 
child  of  her  conception  shall  declare,  God  with  us. 
Wherever  in  all  life  this  child  of  the  woman  is 
conceived  by  the  law  the  masculine  understanding 
will  fear  to  espouse  the  holy  one,  knowing  her  not. 

Woman  is  passing  where  no  man  shall  know  her 
until  she  has  brought  forth  and  established  the 
body  of  her  Lord.  For  her  there  is  now  no  defini- 
tion, until,  outside  the  Inn,  among  the  physical 
forces  of  life,  she  shall  bring  forth  the  son  of  God 
which  shall  be  the  son  of  man.  "And  his  name 
shall  be  called  wonderful  Counselor,  The  Mighty 
God,  The  Everlasting  Father,  The  Prince  of 
Peace,"  and  a  new  name  shall  be  upon  her  brow, 


116  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

and  a  new  glory  in  the  sky.  And  this  shall  be 
a  sign  unto  you,  the  babe  shall  be  found  in  a 
manger,  wrapped  in  swaddling  clothes,  and  sud- 
denly, a  multitude  standing  with  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  shall  declare:  Peace,  Peace  on  earth. 

Woman  is  today  about  her  Father's  business, 
the  normal  business  of  new  soul-building.  Woman 
naturally  serves  the  soul  of  which  the  home  is 
symbol.  The  home,  the  child,  and  service  to  man, 
tradition  says,  is  woman's  normal  sphere.  It  is. 
But  she  must  serve  that  sphere  under  the  law  of 
life,  not  under  a  senseless  interpretation  of  her 
place  and  plane  in  civilization,  by  a  brain  igno- 
rant of  "The  Rule  of  Three." 

She  is  gone  into  a  far  country  for  an  inheri- 
tance which  belongs  to  her  home,  her  children,  and 
her  husband, — an  inheritance  from  the  Lord.  It 
is  for  her  home  that  she  must  go,  to  receive  for 
herself — a  kingdom,  to  return  that  kingdom  to 
home,  husband,  children,  Life.  Her  feet  follow  the 
footprints  of  regeneration.  He  is  her  Lord — 
"And  lo !  I  am  with  you  always." 

When  motherhood  ceases  to  be  the  joy  and  the 
ambition  of  womanhood,  America  may  know  it 
and  its  fathers  have  fallen.  From  her  long  jour- 
ney womanhood  will  bring  the  Lord  of  parenthood. 
A  pure  home  in  a  pure  government  is  the  heritage 
of  the  womanhood  of  America  from  the  Lord  God. 
Woman  is  emancipating  herself  from  false  teach- 
ers, sailing  out  into  the  great  world  alone  in  search 
of  the  truth  about  home  and  about  children. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  117 

Neither  man  nor  church  nor  state  may  teach  her. 
Her  law  is  born  neither  of  man,  nor  church,  nor 
state,  but  of  life.  Man  may  follow,  or  walk  beside 
with  uncovered  brow ;  he  cannot  lead.  The  woman 
is  for  the  man,  not  the  man  for  the  woman.  Her 
teacher  and  husband  is  the  Lord  of  the  midst. 

Man  has  interpreted  his  place  in  the  Law  as  the 
"head  of  the  woman"  to  mean  master  of  woman- 
hood and  the  center  of  all  her  activities.  He  has 
been  the  executor  of  her  will,  not  only  in  her  gov- 
ernments but  in  her  body  and  mind.  Nature  is 
declaring  an  hour  of  cleansing,  commanding  all 
form  to  prepare  for  the  advent  of  the  woman  and 
her  positive  expression  as  the  son  of  life.  All  men, 
and  all  masculine  forces,  are  commanded,  at  this 
hour,  by  a  universal  law,  to  give  birth  to  the 
woman :  "And  it  is  written  by  the  law  of  the  Lord, 
every  male  that  openeth  the  womb  shall  be  called 
holy  to  the  Lord."  Science  is  face  to  face  with 
that  duality  of  law  which  defines  the  Fourth  dimen- 
sion and  its  relation  to  the  first  dimension.  The 
Two  Mountains  of  the  One  Law  write  their  Four 
Chariots  in  that  regeneration  which  constructs 
from  within  the  temple  of  Law. 

The  ballots  of  men  and  the  ballots  of  women  are 
the  Lord's  whose  name  is  One.  Until  the  ballot  is 
related  to  natural  law  it  cannot  claim  to  be  an 
expression  of  Thought.  Today  the  ballot  ex- 
presses the  magnetic  to-and-fro  action  of  the 
machine.  Woman's  emancipation  must  mean  the 
emancipation  of  the  regenerative  law  and  the  reign 


118  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

of  the  triune  One.  She  is  forever  with  the  resur- 
rection and  its  law.  Her  defeat  means  the  defeat 
of  the  law  of  immortality  in  the  body  of  the  Re- 
public of  the  United  States  of  America.  She  has 
been  in  prison  with  the  One  Law.  As  a  tiller  of 
the  soil  she  has  ploughed  her  way  through  the  ages 
which  have  misinterpreted  the  words  of  her  One 
Law.  Always  is  she  emerging  from  the  darkness, 
— always  the  figure  which  embodies  the  Law  of 
resurrection  and  ascension,  always  the  symbol  and 
law  of  the  seed  "which  is  not  quickened  except  it 
die,"  always  the  symbol  of  the  buried  light  born 
out  of  darkness,  always  emerging  from  the  sleep 
of  Adam,  always  born  out  of  the  land  of  Nod  from 
that  sleep  which  is  ignorance  of  Law.  A  belief  in 
the  resurrection  is  a  belief  in  her  resurrection. 

Before  she  comes  to  her  place  in  the  governments 
of  the  world  it  is  of  vital  moment  to  the  world  that 
the  Law  which  brings  her  under  the  protection  of 
its  everlasting  arms  be  recognized  and  enthroned 
with  her.  She  is  born  to  citizenship  from  the  be- 
ginning. Always  is  she  that  ship  of  immortality 
which  is  "the  ship  aboard  the  ship." 

She  is  born  to  citizenship  by  the  ample  laws  of 
nature.  "As  if  justice  could  be  anything  but  the 
ample  laws,  expounded  by  natural  judges  and  sa- 
viours. As  if  it  might  be  this  thing  or  that  accord- 
ing to  decisions." 

Woman  has  fought  with  her  life's  blood  every 
inch  of  her  way  through  the  ages.  Always  the 
figure  of  the  regenerative  law,  and  the  regenera- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  119 

tive  relation,  which  is  today  rising,  rising,  to  place 
of  enthronement  in  the  dual  brain  of  a  world.  She 
has  tilled  the  soil  and  planted  the  seed  of  her  own 
growth.  No  fine  spun  eulogy  of  the  glory  of  her 
function  of  motherhood  can  hold  her  from  her 
destiny  in  God  today.  Her  battle  through  all  the 
ages  is  for  the  motherhood  of  the  One  Law.  Is 
not  the  whole  travail  of  nature  to  bring  forth  the 
Son  of  the  woman?  Is  not  she  the  cry  of  the  life 
of  Man  for  children  of  light  gotten  of  the  One 
Law? 

Civilization  has  focused  its  eye  upon  her 
children,  my  children.  She  is  awake,  with  her 
Lord,  to  bestow  upon  civilization  the  children  of 
his  light.  Her  emancipation  means  the  enthrone- 
ment of  the  divine  woman  in  man.  She  is  today 
the  servant  of  light  and  of  love  to  declare  the  im- 
mortality of  life;  she  has  escaped  from  the  do- 
minion of  a  part ;  she  is  the  servant  of  the  whole. 
She  serves  a  new  master, — a  master  with  whom  she 
is  conceiving  today,  to  bring  forth  with  the  man- 
hood of  these  states  that  immortal  republic  which 
shall  be  the  body  of  the  Lord,  in  an  art  of  govern- 
ment. Fear  not  the  polution  of  the  life  political 
for  her.  Nature  has  given  the  word  of  life  in  her 
behalf  and  has  recorded  its  one  promise  for  her 
for  all  time;  she  shall  be  saved  in  child  bearing, 
and  not  one  jot  or  tittle  of  the  law  can  fail  this 
day  and  this  time  of  birth.  America  shall  acknowl- 
edge the  two  portions  of  One,  restoring  unto  life 
the  political  hand  of  woman.  Her  right  to  her 


120  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

voice  in  all  creation  is  her  right  to  create  and  estab- 
lish soul.  The  divine  rights  of  motherhood  com- 
mand the  masculine  forces  of  the  nation  to  restore 
unto  her  her  creative  right  vested  in  the  ballot  of 
the  Lord  God  of  creation.  She  is  a  citizen  by  the 
law  today.  Her  ballot  is  the  ballot  of  righteous- 
ness and  peace.  The  nation  which  withholds  her 
life  from  Life  can  know  neither  righteousness  nor 
peace. 

America  is  trying  to  build  homes  and  a  nation 
without  the  inspiration  of  the  wife  of  the  Law. 
The  wreath  of  Law,  made  of  the  laurel  of  life,  be- 
longs not  to  this  builder.  Man,  believing  that  he 
created  the  ballot,  has  conceived  that  his  ballot 
belonged  to  him.  Belonging  to  him,  he  has  con- 
ceived that  he  had  a  right  to  buy  it  and  sell  it.  He 
has  thought  it  no  crime  to  pledge  the  voice  of  that 
ballot  to  party  for  the  whole  of  his  natural  life. 
Man's  ballot  is  not  his  own.  It  is  created  by  life 
and  belongs  to  its  creator.  It  is  not  the  business 
of  governments  to  bestow  the  ballot,  which  is  the 
breath  of  the  people,  but  to  prevent  its  usurpation 
from  life  by  any  inherent  part  of  the  people.  The 
ballot,  born  of  the  law,  is  man's,  as  the  breath  of 
life  is  man's  to  sustain  the  created  body  of  life. 

Man  is  two,  the  image  of  the  Soul  creator.  As 
God  is  two  with  the  son  of  the  woman  involved, 
every  form  is  two  with  an  involved  one  for  concep- 
tion with  the  Law.  Every  form  is  thus  squarely 
formed.  The  people  confer  the  rights  of  the 
triune  law  upon  the  government.  The  union  be- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  121 

tween  the  people  and  the  government  is  today 
destroyed.  The  reign  of  one,  which  is  a  fraction, 
is  the  "authority"  of  all  rule.  The  war  measure 
is  needed  to  restore  union. 

Without  the  opposite  dual  law  the  One  triune 
Law  of  the  Soul  is  forever  veiled.  Until  the  One 
triune  vision  is  grown  civilization  must  swing 
from  the  drunken  authority  of  one  arm  of  the  law 
to  the  drunkenness  of  the  other,  with  the  whole 
Law  of  Life  forever  imprisoned.  The  Monistic 
Law  of  creation  is  a  Law  which  commands  Ono  to 
be  defined  as  an  expression  of  two  in  equal  oppo- 
site relation,  which  relation  in  its  reality  is  three- 
in-One  and  one-in-three.  "I  in  you,  you  in  me." 

The  man  and  woman  stand  opposite  each  other 
in  the  creative  law,  not  to  glorify  or  define  each 
other,  or  to  support  each  other,  or  to  protect  each 
other,  or  to  Tax  each  other,  but  to  glorify  the 
Law  which  is  the  Lord  and  his  Christ,  and  to  sup- 
port the  Law  which  is  life,  and  to  protect  the 
Law  which  protects  with  "everlasting  arms."  The 
man  and  the  woman  stand  opposite  each  other  in 
creation,  in  all  forms  and  forces,  governments, 
brains  and  things,  not  to  see  each  other,  or  to 
dominate,  or  control  each  other,  but  to  lift  the 
burden  of  the  sin  of  the  world  off  the  life  of  a  law 
which  chains  worlds  in  chaining  the  woman.  God 
so  loved  the  world  that  another  creative  "author- 
ity" of  his  own  conception  is  given,  after  the  first, 
to  redeem  the  first  and  fulfill  the  promise  of  the 
first.  And  in  this  second  covenant  of  life  with 


122  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

creation  the  government  shall  rest,  not  upon  one, 
but  the  government  shall  be  upon  his  shoulders, 
and  he  shall  appear  in  the  midst  of  them,  seen  even 
of  Thomas.  And  this  appearing  shall  be  "when 
the  even  is  come."  And  in  all  nature  "at  evening 
time  it  shall  be  light."  "And  there  shall  be  no 
night,  and  they  shall  need  no  candle,  neither  light 
of  the  sun;  for  the  Lord  God  giveth  them  light 
and  they  shall  reign  forever  and  forever."  "These 
sayings  are  faithful  and  true." 

At  the  hour  of  "the  even"  one  is  seen  to  be  a 
relation  of  two,  in  a  trinity  which  is  the  first  whole 
one.  In  this  even  hour,  manifest  first  in  under- 
standing, the  Law  of  Holy  Trinity  is  restored  to 
natcre;  and  the  Law  of  Love  mounts  the  throne 
of  all  creation ;  the  voice  from  opposite  becomes 
throughout  nature  the  voice  of  the  brother  of  the 
Law;  war  dies;  peace  is  established;  brains  are 
awakened;  and  Man,  bringing  his  problems  for 
solution  to  the  Law,  is  meditating  day  arid  night 
upon  the  Law  and  is  thus  upon  earth  forever  with 
the  Lord.  In  the  restoration  of  the  Law  of  Re- 
generation to  nature  and  natural  function  the 
dual  kingdom  of  the  Law  "and  his  Christ"  is  born 
again. 

When  the  physical  fact  is  seen,  that  one  is  a 
relation  of  an  involved  two,  and  Love  eternally  a 
Law  of  Holy  Trinity, — seen  with  the  universality 
of  the  fact, — then  the  dawn  of  the  Resurrection 
"from  among  the  dead."  No  false  dawn,  but  the 
dawn  of  that  day  which  knows  no  night  of  ignor- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  123 

ance  about  the  relations  of  "my  two  witnesses" 
within  the  triune  One  over  all.  The  terror  of 
nature,  as  it  struggles  to  reveal  its  ascension  in  a 
regenerative  birth,  is  the  "cloven  foot"  which  has 
been  the  meat  with  which  the  understanding  has 

been  fed.     The  "cloven"  foot  of  the  magnetic  law 

•^•w*" 

must  be  related  to  the  understanding.  Whenever 
we  find  the  to-and-fro  motion  of  magnetic  law,  we 
have  that  dual  division  in  one  which  ignores  rela- 
tion to  the  Lord  of  the  midst  and  denies  the  midst 
its  portion.  This  dual  division  in  one  male  force 
has  been  the  meat  with  which  we  have  supported 
civilization  while  ignorant  of  the  "meat"  of  the 
Law,  "which  ye  know  not  of."  This  division  has 
no  central  creative  portion. 

The  man  has  no  right  to  rule.  Woman  has  no 
right  to  rule.  Law,  which  is  one,  is  ruler  over 
them,  through  them,  with  them,  from  the  midst  of 
them,  "and  they  are  mine."  And  here  lies  the 
whole  science  of  life  in  that  holy  see  which  is  the 
art  of  government. 

To  declare  the  equality  of  woman,  without  the 
will  and  intelligence  to  lawfully  establish  that 
equality  by  a  process,  is  of  no  avail.  The  denial 
of  the  ballot  to  womanhood  is  eternally  given  with 
the  assurance  that  she  is  already  equal  and  supe- 
rior; let  this  knowledge  suffice.  The  law  gives 
birth  to  woman  through  man,  ^he  second  birth 
reverses  the  way  of  the  first.  The  first  birth  is 
external,  the  second  is  from  within  the  body  of  all 
force  and  form.  The  second  birth  is  a  declaration 
established  in  the  flesh  of  physical  fact. 


124  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

The  regenerative  motion  of  law  is  a  motion 
which  denies  nothing,  but  passeth  and  goeth 
through  all  things,  establishing  all  that  life  has 
crowned  with  immortality  within  the  everlasting 
arms  of  Law.  The  regeneration  gives  two  eyes  to 
establish  the  One  Law;  and  man  in  the  regenera- 
tion uses  two  eyes,  according  to  the  One  Law.  He 
transmutes  the  law  of  optics  to  the  vision  of  the 
fourth  dimension.  He  establishes  the  /  am  of  Law 
among  physical  facts;  he  develops  the  one  eye  of 
the  midst,  an  eye  with  the  power  to  establish  triune 
relation.  The  whole  law  of  life  is  an  eye  of  holy 
trinity,  an  optical  eye,  an  eye  of  holy  see.  Sci- 
ence is  upon  the  edge  of  discovery  which  must 
define  the  One  relation  of  regeneration  as  a  rela- 
tion of  whole  trinity, — a  relation,  square  and 
round,  and  straight. 

Without  the  dual  opposite  eye  the  triune  one  is 
forever  unseen,  the  /  am  is  a  mystery.  Every 
discovery  of  science  today  is  a  discovery  in  the  art 
of  salvation. 


"Let  there  be  light"  is  not  the  creation  of  light 
of  the  sun.  The  light  of  law  is  established  by  a 
process  in  a  natural  order.  By  a  process  equality 
is  established,  by  a  declaration  it  is  conceived.  The 
Son  of  Life  is  born  not  in  first  but  fourth  of  crea- 
tion. It  is  finished — not  in  Matthew  but  in 
John — says  Life.  Without  knowledge  of  the  law 
which  enfranchises  and  emancipates  the  slave  only 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  125 

in  the  fourth  of  creation,  the  emancipation  is  itself 
defeated  and  the  last  state  is  worse  than  the  first. 
In  the  regeneration  all  men,  even  the  fool, — the 
negative, — shall  see  the  way  of  Life.  To  the  man 
of  nature  is  given  that  function  which  gives  birth 
to  the  woman  by  an  immaculate  conception  with 
the  Law,  which  at  once  establishes  the  son  of  the 
woman.  This  birth  is  that  dual  marvel  which 
Dante  defines  as  "one  and  a  second  marvel  in- 
stantly." This  birth  is  the  birth  of  the  triune 
Law.  The  manhood  of  America  is  ready  to  see 
and  worship  the  king  in  his  beauty,  ready  to 
enthrone  One  in  citizenship,  ready  to  make  the 
personal  sacrifice  demanded  by  nature,  like  men 
and  not  as  murdered  kings,  who,  having  slept  in 
the  national  garden  of  natural  life  in  the  after- 
noon, die  of  a  poison  in  the  ear  to  return  after 
death  asking  an  extension  of  personal  power  be- 
yond the  Limit.  Yet  "Look,  my  lord,  it  comes !" 

Alas,  poor  ghost.  .  .  . 

Doomed  for  a  certain  term  to  walk  the  night,  .  .  . 
Till  the  foul  crimes  done  in  my  days  of  nature 
Are  burnt  and  purged  away." 

"And  now,  brethren,  I  wot  that  through  ignor- 
ance ye  did  it,  as  did  your  rulers.  Repent,  there- 
fore, that  your  sins  may  be  blotted  out,  when  the 
time  of  refreshing  shall  come  from  the  presence  of 
the  Lord." 

The  problem  of  establishing  regenerative  rela- 
tion for  the  Law  in  preparation  for  the  coming  of 


126  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

his  Christ  is  the  problem  of  all  the  cosmic  forces 
of  the  nation.  Recognition  of  the  relativities  of 
the  body  of  the  One  Law  will  naturally  come  first 
to  those  negative  forces  of  life  which  have  been 
with  this  Law  in  prison.  The  very  life  of  the 
republic  today  depends  upon  the  intelligence  of  its 
negative  forces  which,  buried  with  the  law,  are 
buried  with  Him  for  the  resurrection  of  the  third 
day.  The  test  of  national  intelligence  must  be 
neither  a  male  nor  a  female  test,  but  a  test  of  will- 
ingness to  leave  all  and  follow  the  Law  of  the 
resurrection  and  the  Life.  Intelligence  will  recog- 
nize the  presence  of  the  Law,  bringing  a  new  rela- 
tivity of  involved  life  "for  the  time  of  refreshing" 
which  is  born  of  the  presence  of  the  Law. 

The  recognition  of  the  second  nature  order, 
arising  from  the  first  by  a  natural  law  of  ascen- 
sion, is  followed  by  a  sacrifice  m  the  first.  This 
sacrifice  is  a  willingness  to  leave  all  preconceived 
opinions,  born  of  the  original  law  in  its  generative 
era,  with  all  our  generative  definitions  of  the  rela- 
tions of  life's  creative  two, — leaving  all  these,  to 
follow  the  triune  One  with  that  courage  which 
declares:  "Though  Tie  slay  me  yet  will  I  trust 
him." 

Will  equal  suffrage  for  woman  solve  the  national 
problem?  Equal  suffrage  will  not  solve  the  na- 
tional problems.  "I  the  Lord  thy  God,  am  a  jeal- 
ous God."  Understanding  of  the  Law  which 
enfranchises  womanhood  will  enfranchise  Liberty 
and  establish  the  Republic.  The  understanding 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  127 

which    enfranchises  womanhood  will    enfranchise 
the  law  of  the  woman  and  establish  Peace  on  Earth. 

We  have  tried  to  define  the  relations  of  woman 
to  man  and  of  man  to  woman ;  we  have  failed.  We 
have  tried  to  discover  the  normal  relation  of  capital 
to  labor,  the  white  man  to  the  black  man,  all  that 
is  good  to  all  that  is  evil ;  in  the  whole  domain  of 
thought  we  have  related  two  each  to  the  other 
knowing  only  the  Satanic  mode  of  motion,  con- 
trolled by  it.  We  have  not  succeeded  in  estab- 
lishing either  one  arm  of  the  duality  or  the  other; 
each  still  denies  the  other.  We  have  vowed,  "There 
is  no  evil"  then  tried  "All  is  mind,"  then  "All  is 
spirit,"  without  arriving  at  understanding.  Sci- 
ence has  declared:  "Life  shall  be  considered  as  a 
problem  of  relation."  This  definition  does  not 
affirm ;  it  obeys  the  command,  "Swear  not  at  all" ; 
neither  does  it  define  Life.  It  begins  to  define 
Life  and  its  One  Lord  of  Life. 

If  we  are  to  consider  our  problems  as  relative, 
by  what  Law  are  we  to  establish  relativity?  Have 
we  not  an  accumulation  of  facts  upon  our  hands 
and  are  yet  without  the  law  of  classification?  Our 
efforts  to  relate  opposites  by  a  law  of  evolution 
has  failed.  Does  not  nature  define  the  relations  of 
opposites  by  finding  the  relation  of  each  to  a  Law 
which  bears  the  same  relation  to  each? 

What  is  our  law  of  evolution?  An  animal  ex- 
pansive theory  only,  not  yet  a  triune  body  of  truth. 
A  theory  which  has  served  an  animal  age  of  ex- 
pansion but  which  has  not  yet  arrived  at  the 


128  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

straight  basic  line  of  construction  which  estab- 
lishes Truth  from  the  midst  on  either  side  tracing 
an  evolution  with  an  involution  from  that  center 
which  is  the  throne  of  God  in  the  midst  of  the 
River  of  Life.  Before  the  theory  of  evolution  was 
born  unto  us  the  law  of  evolution  and  its  involved 
relations  was  defined  for  us  in  a  book  of  life,  which 
is  a  book  of  the  way  nature  establishes  the  circle 
of  the  river  which  flows  out  from  the  throne  of 
God  back  to  the  throne  of  God.  "And  he  showed 
me  a  pure  river  of  water  of  life  clear  as  crystal, 
proceeding  out  of  the  throne  of  God  and  of  the 
Lamb.  In  the  midst  of  the  street  of  it,  and  on 
either  side  of  the  river,  was  there  the  tree  of  life." 
In  this  dual-monistic-triune  vision  of  the  tree  of 
life  the  nations  shall  be  healed.  "And  there  shall 
be  no  more  curse.  And  there  shall  be  no  night 
there:  and  they  need  no  candle,  neither  light  of 
the  sun:  for  the  Lord  God  giveth  them  light  and 
they  shall  reign  forever  and  forever." 

In  the  vision  which  reveals  the  triune  tree  of  life 
war  dies  in  the  cry  of  the  law  from  the  voice  of  the 
ground  and  the  problem  of  supremacy  becomes 
"the  foolishness  of  men."  In  the  Street  which  is 
called  Straight  political  drunkenness  dies  by  the 
law  in  the  name  of  the  Christ.  "And  thou  America 
for  the  schemes  culmination." 

"  Give  me,  O  God,  to  sing  that  thought, 
Give  me,  give  him  or  her    I    love    this    quenchless 

faith 
In  thy  ensemble,  whatever  else  withheld,  withhold 

not  from  us 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  129 

Belief  in  plan  of  Thee  enclosed  in  time  and  space, 
Health,  Peace,  salvation  universal. 

Is  it  a  dream? 

Nay  but  the  lack  of  it  the  dream. 

And  failing  it  life's  lore  and  wealth  a  dream 

And  all  the  world  a  dream." 


BOOK  II. 

TO  "THE  CHURCH  THAT  IS  AT 
BABYLON " 

"  Come  and  let  us  return  unto  the  Lord ;  for  he 
hath  torn  and  he  will  heal  us;  he  hath  smitten  and 
he  will  bind  us  up. 

"  After  two  days  will  he  revive  us ;  in  the  third 
day  he  will  raise  us  up,  and  we  shall  live  in  his 
sight." — Hosea  VI. 


CHAPTER  I 
"A  JUST   EPHAH" 

"  Then  said  I  to  the  angel  that  talked  with  me, 
Whither  do  these  bear  the  Ephah? 

And  he  said  unto  me,  To  build  it  an  house  in  the 
land  of  Shinar." 

The  cry  of  all  life  today  is  for  the  lifting  up  of 
that  fundamental  which  is  Mother  Nature.  All 
civilization  waits  today  for  that  ascension  which 
is  a  return  and  a  restoration  and  a  reincarnation 
of  the  original  natural  One. 

Not  from  womanhood  is  man  withholding  the 
ballot  of  citizenship  but  from  creation,  and  that  in 
life's  supreme  hour  when  the  regeneration  may  be 
again  manifest  in  the  flesh.  The  crime  is  one 
against  Mother  nature,  the  Mother  Superior_j>f_ 


Law,  of  whom  is  born  Jesus,  the  regeneration,  "the 
son  of  Nun."  The  ascension  is  a  return  by  way  of 
a  triune  holy  manifestation  in  all.  This  return 
means  that  transfiguring  ascension  in  the  clouds 
of  life  which  lifts  up  the  fundamental  one  written 
as  the  first  in  the  last  place  of  that  straight  meas- 
uring rod  which  is  the  octave  of  Harmony  and 
diameter  of  all  circles. 

Now  our  fundamental  figure  is  "naught."  This 
figure  is  the  original  womb  of  life.  Man  goes  out 
from  this  naught  as  a  dual  humanity  to  return  by 
way  of  a  fall  and  an  ascension  to  this  one  written 
above. 

133 


134  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

The  first  one  of  our  understanding  will  be  writ- 
ten as  01.  The  ascension  of  Law  reverses  the 
original  conception  writing  the  original  01  as  10. 
The  whole  struggle  of  nature  is  to  make  this  as- 
cension which  is  a  reversal.  All  problems  confront 
this  one  problem  and  none  other.  In  the  ascension 
of  01  to  10,  the  Ten  has  involved  the  Nine  points 
of  the  Law  in  one  which  is  10,  from  one  which  was 
nothing  before  one,  or  01.  Ten  declares  the  regen- 
eration of  the  original  relation.  Ten  is  the  regen- 
eration, asking  of  man;  "Where  are  the  Nine?" 
This  figure  10  represents  the  whole  net  of  the  law 
covering  the  whole  scale  of  progression  from  first 
to  last,  including  Nine. 

All  motion  is  the  struggle  of  Life  to  write  10 
where  man  sees  01.  Man  will  seek  to  write  this 
figure  1  (which  is  also  the  eye,  or  nine  of  alpha- 
betical law)  within  the  naught  (1),  thus  arriving 
at  the  D-vision  which  separates  all  hemisphere  in 
an  eternal  dual  triune  union.  Now  this  first  figure 
one,  is  it  the  figure  one,  or  the  letter  figure  I  (eye) 
in  its  reality?  Is  it  one  or  is  it  Nine?  As  one  it 
is  the  first  A,  as  nine  it  is  I.  Now  this  opposite 
city  AI  must  be  taken  today.  This  city  is  taken 
in  the  eternal  law  by  one  who  makes  the  sun  stand 
still,  One  who  is  the  Son  of  Nun. 

The  number  Ten  derives  its  natural  divinity 
from  the  presence  of  the  NINE,  or  the  I,  Avithin 
itself.  This  10  declares  a  fundamental  naught 
lifted  up  to  place  at  the  right  hand  of  the  triune 
one  as  man  faces  nature.  This  naught  is  ever  the 
world. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  135 

Dante  has  written  the  whole  law  of  life,  in 
which  he  relates  the  ascension  to  the  figure  Nine 
through  Beatrice  of  beatific  vision. 

All  ascension  born  of  the  involution  of  law  is 
identified  with  the  law  of  this  figure  Nine,  the 
apotheosis  of  the  One  which  is  Three.  Three  is 
magnified  in  Nine.  Nine  declares  a  return  to  the 
fundamental  1  (one)  and  the  lifting  up  of  that 
fundamental  1  from  first  place  to  last  in  a  scale 
which  involves  a  cross  which  is  an  ascension  from 
first  to  last.  Nine  is  written  in  that  heaven  of  Law 
which  is  the  ascension  established.  It  declares  "a 
just  ephah"  set  upon  its  own  base  in  the  land  of 
Shinar.  In  the  land  of  Shinar  the  figure  1  (one) 
has  been  lifted  up  to  place  in  the  Law,  to  be  the 
eye  of  revelation,  even  the  eternal  I.  Now  our 
consciousness  alone  shall  declare  to  us  whether  this 
figure  1  is  one,  or  whether  it  is  to  us  also  the  letter 
eye  which  we  find  in  the  ninth  place  of  the  English 
alphabet.  Nature  writes  a  cross  from  figure  to 
letter,  and  the  beginning  of  creation  is  not  the 
figure  or  the  letter  but  the  cross  forming  the  word. 
The  word  was  in  the  beginning  as  Law.  Now 
revelation  lies  in  the  cross  of  two  not  in  the  figure 
or  in  the  letter. 

Denying  the  fundamental  duality  of  the  word 
we  deny  the  cross  which  is  the  ascension.  The  city 
Al  cannot  be  taken  by  the  understanding  without 
law  which  is  THE  ONE  LAW  reaching  from  01  to  10, 
declaring  Nine  manifest. 

We  will  think  of  the  Ephah  in  the  land  of  Shi- 


136  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

nar  as  the  eternal  duality  m  a  square  deific.  In 
this  square  we  find  "the  just  ephah."  We  will 
then,  having  written  the  ephah  in  just  relativity, 
relate  the  Ephah  to  the  Two  Mountains  which 
write  Four  Chariots.  We  will  then  turn  to  Paul's 
letter  to  the  dual  Ephesians  to  hear  the  voice  of 
triune  Evolution,  "He  is  our  peace  who  hath  made 
both  one,  and  hath  broken  down  the  middle  wall  of 
partition  between  us  ...  for  to  make  in  himself 
of  twain  one  new  man,  so  making  peace.  And 
that  he  might  reconcile  both  unto  God  in  one  body 
by  the  cross,  having  slain  the  enmity  thereby." 

The  "sixth"  record  of  Zachariah  we  will  re- 
member is  the  Sixth  even  as  it  is  written.  As  the 
Sixth  it  establishes  the  Ephah  upon  its  own  base. 
Six  must  be  remembered  as  the  word  and  law  of 
the  even.  Here  we  will  naturally  look  for  the  light 
promised  at  the  even.  Here  is  revealed  the  whole 
crown  of  life  to  him  who  has  taken  AI,  and  received 
the  crown  of  Joshua,  a  crown  not  dual  alone  of 
silver  and  gold,  but  triune  and  square  upon  the 
head  of  One,  bestowed  at  the  even.  "And  the 
counsel  of  peace  shall  be  between  them  both." 

9  above  becomes  6  below,  and  this  is  a  law  of  the 
Ephah  which  is  established  in  its  land  of  Shinar 
by  recognition  of  the  one  which  is  Nine  above,  the 
word  of  which  is  /  A  M.  Nine  casts  an  image, 
which  is  six.  Now  Seven,  found  in  the  midst  of 
the  opposite  even  six  becomes  the  One  Sabbath  of 
the  Law.  There  is  a  vision  of  life  in  the  heritage 
of  man  where  this  Sabbath  of  the  midst  hath  no 
end. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  137 

In  understanding  of  the  law  of  the  duality 
(which  we  shall  call  the  Ephah  of  nature)  we  shall 
arrive  at  that  understanding  of  a  six  which  is  the 
"beast"  of  law,  having  number  and  mark  and 
image  and  name.  In  understanding  of  the  number 
of  the  beast  we  know  his  name  to  recognize  his 
image  and  mark,  to  be  no  more  lead  by  the  beast 
but  by  the  Law,  whose  name  and  number  is  One 
above. 

We  have  seen  the  creative  flesh  of  the  words  of 
life  and  recognized  the  generated  outer  form,  but 
we  have  separated  the  flesh  from  its  inner  blood, 
forgetting  that  a  regeneration  is  to  be  born  of 
water  and  of  blood.  In  this  separation  we  have 
put  out  the  triune  life  of  the  word,  for  the  woman 
Portia  has  not  yet  interpreted  the  one  dual  triune 
law  unto  us,  and  the  will  of  Shylock  is  yet  the 
will  of  the  mind  of  civilization.  The  letter  has 
a  dual  figure  opposite  it  which  is  within  it.  Where- 
ever  in  nature  the  normal  duality  is  crippled  in 
one  of  its  arms,  the  square  born  qf  duality  and  Law 
is  unexpressed,  and  the  fruit  of  the  tree  of  life 
is  not  plucked  on  either  side  from  the  midst  for 
the  healing  of  nations.  Shylock  is  the  deadly 
enemy  of  the  triune  One,  and  Shylock  is  our  king 
today. 

No  marvel  that  the  science  of  the  word  is  lost 
and  nature's  men  of  letters  are  no  more ;  no  marvel 
that  the  dual  triune  science  of  the  word  is  ridi- 
culed and  rejected  and  knowledge  of  the  Nine 
lost.  One  of  every  normal  duality  is  obscured 


138  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

and  impotent  during  those  dark  ages  which  deny 
the  woman  and  thus  are  ignorant  of  the  natural 
triune  one  and  a  dual  opposite  relativity  to  form 
three-in-One.  Womanhood  is  rising  by  her  own 
might  to  declare  the  even  in  which  lies  the  hope  of 
all  life  upon  every  plane.  She  is  today  the  saviour 
of  the  Law  which  is  to  be  saviour  of  the  world. 

Without  the  dual  equal  opposite  the  Soul  which 
is  One  is  forever  unexpressed.  The  regeneration 
restores.  Today  is  not  the  Reformation  but  the 
day  of  Restoration  of  the  Reformation. 

The  English  language  is  the  Fourth,  or  square, 
dimension  of  the  word  of  revelation.  Nature  has 
written  for  us  the  relative  I,  in  the  Ninth  place 
of  alphabetical  order. 

The  science  of  letters,  which  reveals  the  deriva- 
tion of  words,  is  among  the  lost  which  the  regenera- 
tion comes  to  restore  to  our  understanding.  The 
regeneration  appears  in  an  order  of  law  today  to 
rewrite  all  things  in  order  establishing  heaven's 
•first  law.  "The  word"  has  an  involution.  The 
involution  of  the  word  reveals  its  Logos  by  a  pro- 
cess which  is  a  universal  process  and  a  natural 
revelation.  An  involution  is  enthroned  from  the 
midst  by  an  equal  relation  of  opposites.  The 
letter  involves  in  its  own  form  a  figure  opposite 
and  in  the  self.  Every  external  form  is  a  letter 
and  figure  of  Law.  Every  form  is  the  word  which  is 
under  the  one  triune  law.  And  in  the  beginning  was 
the  Word.  By  a  relation  of  opposites  the  Logos 
is  revealed  and  the  derivation  of  the  word  is  in  its 
Logos  or  triune  form. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  139 

Within  the  word  is  the  Logos  of  the  word.  The 
Law  squares  the  word,  and  the  Logos  is  the  fifth 
principle,  the  life  principle,  of  the  Square.  Now 
the  Fifth  principle  of  the  square  was  the  third 
principle  of  the  straight  line  of  the  Square  which 
has  yielded  up  center.  Truth  is  a  crystal  See, 
Babylon  alone  is  mystery.  The  Bible  is  the  Word, 
and  the  Words  of  the  Bible  are  born  of  life  to  be 
born  again  of  Law  in  Life's  second  covenent. 

The  letter  I  stands  as  the  figure  of  a  law  which 
is  also  I  (one)  related  to  the  Ninth  principal  of 
the  seven  scale,  which  is  the  whole  principle  of 
evolution-involution.  Now  this  Ninth  must  be 
related  to  the  first  note  of  the  scale, — and  the 
last.  "I,  even  I,  am  Beatrice"  declares  the  Law, 
as  she  meets  Dante  in  Purgatory,  for  ascension  to 
the  Tenth  heaven.  This  Ninth  principle  is  the 
city  A-I  to  be  taken. 

Before  the  first  becomes  the  last  note  of  octave 
there  is  a  return  to  the  fundamental  to  find  the 
last.  A  descent  preceeds  the  ascension.  Every 
multiple  of  Nine  returns  the  sum  of  its  life  to  Nine. 
We  learn  to  multiply  by  Nine  in  all  the  affairs  of 
life  to  arrive  at  the  absolute  One,  the  Nine  which 
is  the  /  am  of  the  Square.  We  do  not  find  the  Nine 
in  the  external  manifestation  unless  the  woman  is 
free.  We  find  it  in  the  last  note  of  the  octave 
which  was  the  first.  We  go  down  the  scale  to  the 
beginning  to  write  the  fundamental  above;  and 
in  the  motion  of  descent  and  ascent  declare  the 
eternal  first  one,  lifted  up. 


140  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

This  form  I  is  not  separated  in  nature  from  the 
form  one  and  the  place  Nine,  in  the  measuring  rod 
given  by  the  angel  of  truth.  Every  form  is  given 
a  form  opposite,  born  from  within,  and  "all  things 
are  double  one  against  another"  for  the  glory  of 
the  Law  whose  name  is  One.  Opposite  the  One, 
which  is  first  I,  lies  I  which  is  Nine,  and  here  the 
two  eyes  are  given  which  takes  the  city  AI  and 

,ngs  five  sense  Kings  which  persist  in  seeing 
only  the  external  form. 

This  figure  I,  falling  in  the  place  Nine  of  the 
English  alphabet  as  the  eye  of  law,  has  been 
formed  there  and  placed  there  by  the  law  of  cre- 
ation which  is  the  One  law  of  holy  trinity;  a  one 
square  law,  related  to  that  holy  see  which  gives 
man  the  right  to  "look  and  live."  At  what  shall 
he  look?  Intelligence  must  answer  in  the  law. 

All  things  are  double  one  against  another  for 
the  glory  of  the  See  which  is  whole,  and  at  even 
time  the  light  shall  break  forth  as  the  Son 
of  the  morning  and  the  moving  principle  of 
life  be  lifted  up.  The  moving  principle  of  life  is 
found  for  ascension  at  the  center  of  the  square,  as 
the  Fifth  principle  to  lift  up  the  triangular  square 
pyramid  of  life.  Now  the  great  pyramid  of  life 
born  of  the  square  and  its  Fifth  principle  rests 
ever  in  lower  Egypt,  and  in  this  pyramid  today 
tigs~a  king's  and  queen's  chamber  which  is  a  tomb 
in  our  house  of  understanding. 

Now  the  house  of  understanding  will  ever  be  the 
house  of  Joseph  into  which  the  Christ  is  born ;  and 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  141 

Joseph  is  an  old  man,  when  the  woman  is  14  to 
bring  forth  that  Christ  which  is  the  Fifth  prin- 
ciple of  ascension  in  all  the  earth.  The  house  of 
Joseph  is  sacred  in  all  nature.  "And  Joseph  shall 
have  two  portions."  Woman  is  pleading  before 
State  and  Nation  that  the  understanding  shall 
accept  the  "two  portions"  which  belong  to  the 
house  chosen  as  the  care-taker  of  the  regeneration. 

A  just  Ephah  reveals  and  accepts  the  portion 
of  Joseph.  The  understanding  will  never  forsake 
the  Law  when  it  has  betrothed  the  woman  to  the 
Law,  giving  the  woman  to  the  Law  in  holy  mar- 
riage as  the  father-motherhood  of  manhood  com- 
mands. In  all  relation  the  woman  is  to  be  given 
to  the  Law  to  be  returned  to  man  from  the  Law 
as  equal  or  wife  with  the  triune  crown  upon  her 
brow  for  him. 

The  house  of  Joseph  shall  accept  and  establish 
the  two  portions  which  establish  the  just  Ephah. 
The  understanding  will  see  and  hold  the  just 
Ephah,  resolving  every  problem  into  the  two  por- 
tions for  the  triune  one.  As  humanity  seeks  its 
salvation  it  will  seek  the  house  of  Joseph  rethron- 
ing  two  portions,  humanity  on  the  one  side  and 
on  the  other  Law,  opposite  and  in  humanity. 

In  the  two  portions  of  the  house  of  Joseph 
humanity  is  seen  as  the  bride  of  life  squarely 
adorned  for  the  husband  which  is  the  One  Law. 
Humanity  in  this  dual  relation  has  not  become  all 
man  or  all  woman  but  a  triune  One  equal  with 
God  ascended  to  Him.  Man  must  have  the  holy 


142  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

see  to  sustain  two  in  place  as  eternally  two  before 
and  in  the  Law.  That  which  is  to  be  annihilated  in 
union  with  the  law  is  not  man  but  man's  dominance 
over  the  One  Law.  Man  in  seeing  his  life  as  a 
life  to  be  negative  to  law  does  not  become  negative 
to  womanhood. 

In  conception  with  God  all  humanity  becomes 
the  Madonna  to  become  the  Son,  neither  male  nor 
female  but  a  triune  squared  one  even  as  the  sun 
in  the  heaven  that  giveth  light. 

"And  it  shall  come  to  pass  that  in  all  the  land, 
saith  the  Lord,  two  parts  therein  shall  be  cut  off 
and  die;  but  the  third  shall  be  left  therein." 

"And  I  will  bring  the  third  part  through  the 
fire,  and  will  refine  them  as  silver  is  refined,  and 
will  try  them  as  gold  is  tried:  they  shall  call  on 
my  name,  and  I  will  hear  them :  I  will  say,  It  is  my 
people:  and  they  shall  say,  The  Lord  is  my  God." 

"Then  shall  the  Lord  go  forth.  .  .And  his  feet 
shall  stand  in  that  day  upon  the  mount  of  Olives 
which  is  before  Jerusalem  on  the  east,  and  the 
mount  of  Olives  shall  cleave  in  the  midst  thereof 
toward  the  east  and  toward  the  west,  and  there  shall 
be  a  very  great  valley;  and  half  of  the  mountain 
shall  remove  toward  the  north,  and  half  of  it 
toward  the  south.  .  .And  it  shall  be  in  that  day, 
that  living  waters  shall  go  out  from  Jerusalem; 
half  of  them  toward  the  former  sea,  and  half  of 
them  toward  the  hinder  sea,  in  summer  and  in  win- 
ter shall  it  be. 

"And  the  Lord  shall  be  king  over  all  the  earth: 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  143 

in  that  day  shall  there  be  one  Lord,  and  his  name 
one.  .  .  .  Yes,  every  pot  in  Jerusalem  and  in  Judah 
shall  be  holiness  unto  the  Lord  of  hosts:  and  all 
they  that  sacrifice  shall  come  and  take  of  them, 
and  see  the  therein.  .  .  ." 

The  Second  coming  of  the  first  law  is  not  a 
coming  which  is  a  birth,  but  a  coming  which  com- 
pletes a  birth,  and  is  in  fact  a  Restoration.  This 
restoration  is  a  universal  command,  called,  in  the 
natural  word,  the  restoration  of  Jerusalem.  With 
this  restoration  the  second  advent  of  the  first  law 
is  concerned  in  all  the  earth.  Now  Jerusalem  is 
a  dual  city,  situated  above  and  below,  without  and 
within,  existing  universally  in  all  the  earth  of  Life. 
This  Jerusalem  is  related  to  the  two  covenants 
which  man  may  make  with  nature. 

This  city — being  square — is  to  be  restored  in  a 
dual  sense.  The  reality  is  the  universal  sense 
and  the  particular  manifestation  is  the  witness  of 
reality.  Jerusalem  is  the  normal  figure  of  the 
Law  of  the  two  covenants ;  "the  one  from  the  mount 
Sinai,  which  gendereth  to  bondage,  which  is  Agar. 
For  this  Agar  is  mount  Sinai  in  Arabia,  and 
answereth  to  Jerusalem  which  now  is,  and  is  in 
bondage  with  her  children.  But  Jerusalem  which 
is  above  is  free,  which  is  the  mother  of  us  all." 

It  is  with  the  Jerusalem  "which  is  the  mother 
of  us  all,"  that  nature  and  civilization  has  first 
to  do  today.  The  rebuilding  of  the  sacred  city 
of  the  far  east  will  follow  in  a  natural  order,  (not 
go  before  the  emancipation  of  the  woman  by  the 


144  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

governments  of  the  world)  the  emancipation  of 
the  One  Law.  The  city  of  brick  and  stone  is  but 
the  symbol  word  of  the  Restoration,  the  outer 
shell  in  which  lies  an  involution  which  is  the  Logos 
of  activity  in  the  universal  reality. 

The  womanhood  of  the  world  has  heard  the  com- 
mand of  the  regeneration  to  Restore  Jerusalem; 
she  is  about  her  Master's  business.  "Jerusalem 
which  is  above"  is  opposite  and  within;  it  is  the 
kingdom  of  the  heaven  of  the  law,  a  dimension 
four  square.  Where  Jerusalem  is  destroyed  there 
is  no  knowledge  of  the  fourth  dimension  of  the 
first;  the  One  Law  is  unrecognized.  Now  the  One 
which  is  first  nothing  is  at  the  last  Square.  The 
Law  of  holy  trinity  is  a  square  law,  a  natural 
first  one.  Jerusalem  is  destroyed  within  the  con- 
sciousness of  the  world,  but  the  cry  of  nature  to 
restore  is  heard  by  all  the  forces  of  creation  today. 

As  the  Temple  of  Solomon  rises  again  the  wis- 
dom of  the  ancients  must  again  appear;  and  the 
reality,  the  temple  not  made  with  hands,  manifest 
the  One  Law  in  all  the  world.  Lines  of  relation 
are  invisible  lines  of  force  uniting  all  visible  ac- 
tivity with  the  universal  law.  As  the  new  outer 
temples  arise  nations  may  look  for  the  rise  of 
those  problems  which  command  the  rebuilding  of 
inner  forms.  As  nature  sends  out  her  call  for 
men  of  war  the  nation  responds  with  fruit  of  either 
side,  fruit  above  and  below.  Over  against  theN 
physical  understanding  which  hears  and  obeys 
by  building  physical  ships  lies  a  spiritual  under- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  145 

standing  which  also  hears  from.,  the .other  side-and 
obeys,  sending  forth  ships  upon  the  High  See  for 
the  victory  of  Peace  which  is  the  victory  of  Law. 

Now  the  Jew  is  tlie  force  which  is  dual  in  reality, 
but  centered  in  itself  it  is  found  denying,  not  the 
One  Law,  but  denying  the  manifestation  of  the 
one  law  outside  of  its  own  Hebrew  being.  All 
sects  are  Hebrew  forms.  All  governments  are  He- 
brew forms  to-day.  Wherever  in  civilization  we 
have  a  denial  of  the  woman  we  have  the  Jew,  the 
fundamental  one. 

The  masculine  form  is  the  original  Hebrew  form. 
Every  sectarian  religion  is  the  Jew  of  nature 
centered  in  the  self,  denying  the  cross  with  all 
opposite  forces  in  civilization,  clinging  to  the 
leadership  which  is  original  and  self  appointed; 
denying  the  reality  of  regeneration  which  is  "with- 
out father  without  mother  and  without  descent." 
It  is  written  that  the  One  Law,  in  every  time  of 
life,  shall  find  its  recognition,  at  every  appearing, 
from  the  Gentile  elements  of  civilization.  These 
in  all  ages  are  the  hope  of  the  second  covenant. 
And  who  are  the  Gentile  elements  of  civilization 
upon  which  the  reception  of  the  Law  will  rest  to- 
day? The  word  and  its  Logos  declare  these  to  be 
the  uncentered,  the  unmeasured,  uncounted,  un- 
churched, free  elements  among  men  outside  the 
centers  of  civilization.  ("The  court  of  the  Gen- 
tiles measure  it  not.")  These  are  not  defined 
till  they  define  the  one  body  of  Law.  There  is  a 
larger  definition  in  the  word  belonging  to 


146  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  universal  law  and  its  duality.  For-  this 
place  and  this  relation  here  the  Gentile  must  be 
defined  as  the  independent,  unattached 


ready  at  all  times  to  march,  to  change  his.  point——. 
of  view,  ever  ready  to  receive  the  truth,  —  no  party, 
no  church,  no  creed,  —  the  unmeasured,  the  first  to 
see  the  Law,  which  must  come  first  to  its  own,  and 
be  rejected.  The  Gentile  is  the  element,  and  the 
man  and  the  nation,  which  is  free  from  the  mag- 
netic circle  which  binds. 

The  coming  of  ,  the  Law  is  as  a  thief  in  the 
night;  its  presence  is  unknown,  its  disguise  is  sure,.  *•* 
The  coming  is  first  to  self  -centered  sects  and  par- 
ties; it  is  written  by  nature  that  these  shall  reject 
the  Law.  This  rejection  we  see  today  among  all 
elements  centered  in  the  self,  —  see  it  _  in  jail 
churches,  in  all  governments.  While  these  reject 
the  infant  birth,  they  will,  led  by  the  Gentile,  rec- 
ognize the  advent  of  Law  as  the  man-child  of  Rev- 
elation. 

The  advent  of  the  Law  can  only  be  discerned  by 
the  eye  which  has  seen  the  relativities  in  which  the 
regeneration  appears.  The  advent  will  be  upon 
all  planes  of  nature:  Science  will  first  see,  and  Art 
will  first  interpret.  The  Jew  will  reject  the  revel- 
ations of  Art  and  Science,  and  the  Gentile,  by  an 
instinct  of  inheritance,  will  accept  and  establish 
and  be  the  revelation.  The  advent  will  be  seen 
thus  through  clouds. 

Within  the  Jewish  form,  —  in  the  church,  in  the 
state,  in  the  nation,  in  the  body  of  science,  —  will 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  147 

be  found  a  Gentile  involution  which  will  recognize 
the  Law,  and  inauguarate  the  restoration,  for  such 
it  is  written  by  the  prophet,  which  prophet  is  ever 
Nature.  While  the  restoration  of  the  law  is  de- 
pendent upon  the  free  Gentile  element,  the  estab- 
lising  of  that  restoration  belongs  to  the  original 
form,  which  in  recognition  of  the  One  Son  of  the 
woman,  becomes  that  form  of  the  One  Law  which 
is  called  the  Christian  or  the  triune  form. 

Nowhere  is  the  Christian  form  born  without 
recognition  of  the  equality  of  opposites  which  sus- 
tains the  universal  center  of  the  square  Jerusalem 
and  receives  life  from  that  center  in  which  there 
is  "neither  Jew  nor  Greek,  there  is  neither  bond 
nor  free,  there  is  neither  male  nor  female:  for  ye 
are  all  one  in  Christ  Jesus."  To  establish  this 
form  is  the  purpose  of  Life.  Knowing  the  Law, 
faith  in  the  processes  of  the  Law  is  established. 
"Wherefore  the  law  was  our  schoolmaster  to  bring, 
us  unto  Christ." 

The  individual  manifestation  of  the  One  Law, 
by  processes  within  the  body  of  man,  establishing 
the  soul  of  all  his  being  there,  is  a  question  of 
faith.  Knowledge  of  the  law  compels  man  to  a  be- 
lief in  its  power  to  manifest  the  triune  Christ 
within  his  own  individual  dual  body  and  brain.  By 
faith  man  accepts  the  universal  as  the  individual 
and  the  personal.  And  in  this  universal  individ- 
ual acceptance  the  One  Universal  Law  becomes  the 
individual  saviour  of  nations  and  of  men.  By 
faith  the  nation  will  establish  the  universal  rela- 


148  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

tions  of  the  One  Law  at  the  individual  ballot  box, 
and  by  faith,  born  of  knowledge,  keep  those  rela- 
tions sacredly  whole  in  all  the  Earth. 

A  knowledge  of  the  Law  compels  man  to  trust 
his  own  being  unto  its  One  Way,  burying  that 
being  with  the  Law.  A  knowledge  of  the  Law 
compels  humanity  to  accept  his  own  dual  body  as 
the  body  of  the  law,  and  not  as  his  own  possession ; 
he  accepts  the  duality  in  one,  believing  in  the 
power  of  life  to  manifest  in  him  One  which  is 
whole,  and  through  the  name,  the  holy  name  re- 
generation, squares  the  circle  of  his  life's  blood. 

Until  this  faith  born  of  knowledge  is  manifest, 
nations  and  men  are  under  the  law  of  elements. 
"Even  so  we,  when  we  were  children,  were  in  bond- 
age under  the  elements  of  the  world.  But  when 
the  fulness  of  time  was  come,  God  sent  forth  his 
son,  made  of  a  woman,  made  under  the  law." 

The  morning  of  the  Twentieth  Century  hasjiow 
cast  its  false  dawn,  and 

"  Before  the  phantom  of  false  morning  died, 
Methought  a  voice  within  the  tavern  cried, 
'Why  nods  the  drowsy  worshipper  outside 
When  all  the  temple  is  prepared  within.'  " 

Shadows  of  coming  facts,  echoes  of  new  under- 
standings, phantoms  of  truth,  have  been  cast  upon 
our  Twentieth  Century  shores.  Not  yet  has  the 
solid  rock  appeared.  The  "false  morning"  has 
natural  place,  bringing  parts  of  truth,  parts  of 
discovery,  all  related  to  the  whole  One  Law.  All 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  149 

prophecy,  but  none  reality.  The  truth  seeker  has 
one  guide  in  this  hour  of  new  teaching,  new  cults, 
new  leadership.  Comes  he — comes  she — in  the 
name  of  the  Law?  If  so,  blessed!  For  "Blessed 
is  he  that  cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord."  Such 
an  one  will  bring  no  new  religion,  no  new  revela- 
tion, no  new  code  of  morals,  no  new  form  of  gov- 
ernment, no  new  Bible.  The  teacher  of  light  will 
bring  the  Restoration  in  the  name  of  the  Law, 
and  will  lay  that  restoration  upon  the  forms  which 
already  exist,  and  no  man  shall  teach  his  brother, 
and  men  and  nations  shall  see  the  law  as  it  is  writ- 
ten within  every  form.  The  denial  rests  upon  the 
Jew,  the  restoration  rests  upon  the  Jew,  and  the 
Jew  brings  the  salvation  of  the  world:  "For  he  is 
not  a  Jew  which  is  one  outwardly." 

"And  they  shall  teach  no  more  every  man  his 
brother  .  .  .  for  they  shall  all  know  me.  .  .  ." 
"Why  then  is  not  the  health  of  the  daughter  of 
my  people  recovered."  .  .  .  "For  they  have  healed 
the  hurt  of  the  daughter  of  my  people  slightly, 
saying,  peace,  peace;  when  there  is  no  peace." 
.  .  .  "Yea,  the  stork  in  the  heaven  knoweth  her 
appointed  times ;  and  the  turtle  and  the  crane  and 
the  swallow  observe  the  time  of  their  coming;  but 
my  people  know  not  the  judgments  of  the  Lord." 

The  daughter  of  Jerusalem  is  to  be  restored. 
The  daughter  of  Babylon  is  to  be  destroyed.  "O 
daughter  of  Babylon  who  art  to  be  destroyed; 
happy  shall  he  be  that  rewardeth  thee  as  thou  hast 
served  us,  Happy  shall  he  be,  that  taketh  and  dash- 


150  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

eth  thy  little  ones  against  the  stones."  The 
daughters  of  Jerusalem  cannot  sing  the  songs  of 
Babylon.  "They  that  carried  us  away  captive 
required  of  us  a  song ;  and  they  that  wasted  us  re- 
quired of  us  mirth,  saying,  Sing  us  one  of  the 
songs  of  Zion."  .  .  .  "By  the  rivers  of  Babylon 
we  wept  when  we  remembered  Zion." 

The  external  killeth,  the  universal  lies  in  "the 
therein"  to  be  the  Logos  of  immortality.  At  the 
entrance  to  all  holy  existence,  where  the  law  of  re- 
generation is  to  spread  the  wings  of  a  Dove,  man 
will  find  the  eternal  dual  opposite  angels  of  the 
Law.  He  writes  these  angels  over  each  eye,  as 
creation  has  written,  establishing  the  midst,  and 
here  "the  cherubims  shall  stretch  forth  their  wings 
on  high,  covering  the  mercy  seat  with  their  wings, 
and  their  faces  shall  look  one  to  another:  toward 
the  mercy  seat  shall  the  faces  of  the  cherubims  be." 

"And  thou  shalt  put  the  mercy  seat  above  upon 
the  ark:  and  in  the  ark  thou  shalt  put  the  testi- 
mony that  I  shall  give  thee."  .  .  .  "And  there  I 
will  meet  thee,  and  there  I  will  commune  with  thee 
from  above  the  mercy  seat  from  between  the  two 
cherubims  which  are  upon  the  ark  of  the  testi- 
mony of  all  things  which  I  will  give  thee  in  com- 
mandment unto  the  children  of  Israel."  .  .  . 
"Thou  that  dwellest  between  the  cherubims  shvne 
forth." 

When  balance  of  creative  element  is  established 
— two  parts  to  one — we  have  the  creative  basis 
which  is  the  three-in-one  relation,  manifest  in  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  151 

elements  as  the  form,  water.  Water  is  the  creative 
figure,  it  is  also  the  figure  of  a  crystal  See.  Water 
is  the  word  of  balance,  or  of  the  neutral  (salt) 
creative  plane  of  life.  Regeneration  will  perform 
its  miracles  by  the  creative  sea,  and  all  disciples  of 
the  law  today  will  be  fishermen,  casting  their  nets 
upon  the  other  right  side  as  the  Law  commands. 
Now  this  "net"  which  we  are  to  cast  upon  the  right 
side  is  a  Hebrew  word  form.  To  get  at  the  mean- 
ing of  the  word  we  therefore  read  from  right  to 
left  and  spell  from  right  to  left.  The  Hebrew  is 
the  elemental  square  form.  The  Christian  form 
lifts  up  the  fifth  principle  of  the  square. 

Before  the  command  of  law  is  heard  we  see  from 
but  one  side,  casting  our  nets,  in  all  search  for 
truth,  upon  but  one  side  of  every  ship.  The  ship 
of  state  is  not  immune  from  this  natural  mode  of 
motion.  As  the  Hebrew  becomes  Christian  the 
Christian  becomes  the  whole  area  of  Law,  including 
all.  "Cast  the  net  on  the  right  side  of  the  ship  and 
ye  shall  find." 

Ten — read  from  right  to  left — is  the  whole 
"net"  of  the  law.  With  an  understanding  of  that 
•first  principle  which  is  One,  and  a  fifth  principle 
lying  at  the  center  of  the  square  and  circle,  which 
is  also  the  third  and  the  one,  we  have  the  first 
principle  the  fifth  and  the  third  at  the  heart  of  the 
One  Law,  and  in  this  1  and  5  and  3  we  have  the 
hundred  and  fifty  and  three  fishes  of  the  law;  the 
sum  of  which  to  the  understanding  must  give  rev- 
elation of  those  Nine  points  written  within,  which 


152  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

reveal  the  regenerative  Son  and  soul  of  the 
woman.  (There  is  no  desire  to  be  obscure  and 
therefore  the  fact  has  been  stated  clearly  that  the 
sum  of  1  and  5  and  3  is  the  9  within  the  Ten 
Net.) 

Having  seen  the  hundred  and  fifty  and  three, 
and  grasped  the  first  and  the  fifth  and  the 
third  principle  of  the  law  which  is  One  (I)  and 
declared  that  "it  was  the  Law,"  the  reader  is  ready 
to  leave  this  sea  to  eat  the  meat  of  the  one  Law, 
becoming  fishers  of  men  in  that  holy  see  which  is 
crystal  and  in  which  there  is  no  more  mystery. 

The  English  language  is  the  interpreter  of  the 
natural  regeneration.  It  is  a  Word  of  fourth  di- 
mension born  of  the  triune  One  Law.  Its  Sea  and 
its  See  are  written  by  the  One  Law.  Each  are 
words  of  equilibrium  and  so  of  creative  propor- 
tion and  relation.  The  water  is  the  generative 
creative  plane  (the  sea).  The  regenerative  crea- 
tive plane  is  also  the  see,  the  holy  see,  the  open  C. 

The  vital  point  is  this :  the  plane  of  equilibrium 
which  rests  upon  the  equal  opposite  relation  gives 
the  proportions  of  the  law,  and  thus  becomes  the 
water,  or  the  creative  plane,  on  land  as  well  as  on 
sea.  And  the  angel  of  revelation  in  the  under- 
standing of  man  will  keep  one  foot  of  that  under- 
standing upon  the  sea  and  one  upon  the  land. 

"My  words  they  are  life."  "My  words"  have 
the  regenerative  form,  and  the  regenerative  figure 
is  an  original  square.  The  English  language  with 
its  dual  triune  and  foursquare  word  is  the  language 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  153 

of  revelation.  The  St.  James  Bible  is  the  book  of 
the  hour,  the  key  to  the  Scripture  of  the  Times. 
The  creative  record  is  no  where  separated  from  the 
sea.  The  leader  of  the  first  covenant, — a  law, — is 
drawn  up  out  of  the  water.  The  Master  of  the 
second  is  drawn  into  the  water.  Opposite  the 
creative  sea  lies  the  creative  see,  and  in  the  midst 
as  the  star  of  creation,  the  Christ.  The  regenera- 
tion is  related  to  that  See  which  is  an  whole  see, 
and  here  they  that  look  live. 

The  English  language  is  whole  and  square,  be- 
longing to  the  fourth  dimension  of  the  word  of 
revelation.  Its  spell  is  divine  and  wholly  natural. 
It  is  a  creative  sea,  and  into  it  fishermen  of  the 
See  may  cast  the  creative  net  of  the  One  Law, 
landing  ever  the  hundred  and  fifty  and  three, 
knowing  that  here  is  the  whole  Law. 

We  shall  forever  remain  in  ignorance  of  the 
Biblical  record  of  the  regeneration  of  life  unless 
we  consent  to  look  for  the  derivation  of  its  words 
in  creative  law.  Words  are  generate  and  regene- 
rate, under  the  law  of  form.  We  shall  not  see  the 
Lord  until  we  consent  to  "look"  in  the  Word. 
"Cast  thy  bread  upon  the  waters,  and  thou  shalt 
find  it  after  many  days.  Give  a  portion  to  Seven 
also  to  eight." 

Seeing  the  whole  creative  relation,  establishing 
the  holy  creative  waters  in  the  understanding,  re- 
ceiving the  holy  water  upon  the  brow,  creation 
itself  will  respond,  and  the  Law  will  answer  our  pe- 
titions, heal  our  diseases,  and  grant  the  wisdom 


154  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

which  is  born  of  understanding  from  out  the  holy 
see. 

The  vital  point  of  the  regeneration  is  that  Mys- 
tery, the  Babylon  of  understanding,  shall  fall. 
The  Law  will  reveal  its  relations  and  its  form  in 
the  last  days.  Mystery  is  enthroned  where  mind 
is  all.  As  ten  is  the  limit  of  progression,  we  know 
that  "the  last  days"  lie  among  the  last  notes  of  the 
octave,  and  that  every  plane  of  evolution  has  its 
"last  days"  in  which  an  involution  awakes.  Intel- 
ligence shall  free  ignorance  from  the  terror  of  "the 
last  days."  Let  us  ask  of  Law,  not  of  other  men ; 
and  the  question  shall  be  that  "question"  of  the 
holy  grail  which  leads  to  the  unveiling  of  that  form 
which  is  the  "cup"  of  eternal  life. 

The  creative  waters  are  ever  formed  of  the  One 
dual  opposite  relation.  Wherever  nations  and  man 
have  recognized  the  triune  neutral  creative  rela- 
tion, and  have  established  that  relation,  they  have 
formed  the  waters,  and  established  "a  firmament 
in  the  midst  of  the  waters,"  to  be  the  new  soul  of 
new  creation.  "And  God  called  the  firmament 
Heaven."  From  these  waters  we  shall  gather  the 
bread  of  life  which  is  "my  body  and  my  blood"  for 
the  redemption  of  the  world,  its  humanity,  its  life, 
its  forms.  And  the  "bells  of  the  horses,"  shall  de- 
clare "HOLINESS  UNTO  THE  LORD." 

"  My  Comrades : 
Share  with  me,  two  greatnesses — and  a  third  one, 

rising  inclusive  and  more  resplendent, 
The  greatness  of  Love  and   Democracy — and  the 
greatness  of  religion." 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  155 

Nature  commands  Thought  to  take  the  thread  of 
Ariadne  into  the  labyrinth  of  the  affairs  of  civili- 
zation today.  Without  this  thread  science  ceases 
to  be.  Without  this  thread  ecclesiasticism  has 
plunged  the  world  into  that  elemental  chaos  where 
"all  is  mind."  Without  this  thread  man  moves  in 
unceasing  motion  recording  activity  but  not  prog- 
ress. Without  this  thread  the  art  of  government 
is  lost  and  national  life  represents  the  activity  of 
a  machine.  Science  in  its  new  era  of  regeneration 
enthrones  the  woman.  Science  in  its  regeneration 
restores  the  science  of  Theology  which  is  the  sci- 
ence of  The  Word  which  is  the  science  of  the  Logos. 
Wherever  Science  is  the  one  authority  of  life  na- 
ture is  enthroned  and  a  relation  established  be- 
tween the  external  form  and  the  inherent  life, 
which  is  "the  within"  of  the  Lord  whose  name  is 
One.  One  arm  of  authority  cannot  exist  without 
the  other.  "My  two  witnesses  in  all  the  earth"  are 
omnipresent  with  the  Law  in  all  truth.  Govern- 
ment has  tried  to  exist  without  woman.  Theology 
has  tried  to  exist  without  science.  Science  has  tried 
to  exist  without  the  record  of  itself  handed  down 
through  the  ages  as  the  Word. 

The  church,  using  its  eye  of  generation,  has  seen 
the  man  and  the  woman  of  the  word  related  to  each 
other.  It  has  seen  but  one  relation  of  the  two  wit- 
nesses in  the  whole  word  of  life.  It  has  given  only 
personal,  generative,  interpretation  to  the  book  of 
life.  Christianity  today  awaits  that  second  birth 
which  in  all  nature  establishes  the  first.  Man  and 


156  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

nation  accepts  this  second  birth  or  accepts  to  be  re- 
turned to  the  elements  for  re-birth. 


CHAPTER  II 
BOAZ  AND  JACHIN. 

"Where  is  the  house  that  ye  builded  unto-me?  " 

In  every  problem  which  vexes  civilization  today 
dual  opposite  pillars  are  universally  defined.  The 
negatives  of  every  dual  problem  are  rising  to  de- 
mand that  equality  which  is  naturally  written  in 
the  arch-way  of  life.  All  interpretation  has  de- 
fined the  two  pillars  of  the  law  as  existing  one  for 
the  other,  related  each  to  the  other,  hence  one  serv- 
ing the  other.  Out  of  this  definition  of  charity  has 
grown  an  idea  of  charity,  which  is  called  personal 
service  of  one  pillar,  the  stronger,  supposedly, 
toward  the  other.  Out  of  this  definition  of  charity 
has  grown  the  assumption  that  man  serves  man. 
Upon  this  assumption  we  have  builded  what  we  call 
a  philosophy  of  life. 

Man  cannot  serve  man.  Man  serves  Law  and 
Law  serves  man.  That  man  may  serve  Law  he  is 
dual  in  all  activity.  To  serve  Law  man  writes  all 
activity  in  equal  opposite  relation  for  the  ascension 
of  Law.  In  the  One  "way"  of  the  Law  there  ex- 
ists no  rich  pillar  to  serve  poor  pillar,  no  night  to 
serve  day,  or  day  to  serve  night;  there  is  One  day 
for  the  glory  of  One.  The  strong  do  not  serve 
the  weak.  Where  there  is  poverty  and  riches  serv- 
ing each  the  other  there  is  poverty  of  soul  in  rich 
and  poor  and  the  Law  of  Life  is  unknown.  Ser- 
vice belongeth  unto  the  Law,  the  Lord  of  all. 
157 


158  THE  XEW  DEMOCRACY 

Where  poverty  and  riches  exist  the  Law  and  the 
woman  are  sick  and  in  prison.  The  Lord  then  is 
poor  and  weak  and  sick  and  the  personality  which 
is  deprived  of  power  because  of  sickness,  poverty 
and  crime  is  the  personality  of  the  Law,  the  Lord, 
thy  God,  sick  and  in  prison  and  "ye  visited  me 
not."  Charity  then  in  giving  giveth  nothing  to  the 
dual  personality  of  life,  but  giveth  unto  the  Law. 
The  need  of  the  poor,  weak,  black  pillar  of  life  is 
the  need  of  the  rich,  strong  pillar.  The  giver 
gives,  not  to  the  individual,  but  to  Life,  and  in  the 
personal  need  sees  the  need  of  the  Law  who  for 
your  sakes  became  poor.  The  poor  are  buried  with 
the  Law  for  the  resurrection.  The  riches  which 
all  men  seek  are  the  gifts  of  the  risen  Lord  to  alL 
Charity  toward  the  Law  is  the  greatest  achieve- 
ment in  the  whole  world  of  Love.  Government  ex- 
ists for  this  charity  toward  all.  Law  alone  be- 
stoweth  riches.  "And  now  abideth  faith,  hope  and 
charity  and  the  greatest  of  these  is  charity." 
"The  poor  ye  have  with  you  always."  "Sell  all 
that  thou  hast  and  give  to  the  poor."  And  what 
hast  thou?  An  idea  of  personal  service,  an  idea  of 
charity  of  one  nation  toward  another,  an  idea  of 
rulership  of  one  over  another,  an  idea  of  protec- 
tion of  one  arm  of  life  over  the  other,  an  idea  of 
Colonial  possession.  The  poor  ye  have  always  with 
you  in  the  brain  cell  of  authority,  the  prison  cell 
of  the  Lord,  where  dominant  ideas  are  clothed  with 
stripes.  "And  he  took  them  and  washed  their 
stripes." 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  159 

Personality  will  ever  define  charity  as  some- 
thing proceeding  from  man  to  man.  Charity  is 
something  proceeding  from  man  to  God  by  way  of 
the  son,  and  "God  so  loved  the  world  that  he  gave 
his  only  begotten  son."  With  man's  definition  of 
charity  has  grown  up  naturally  into  the  conscious- 
ness of  humanity  a  settled  fear  and  distrust  of  hu- 
manity. The  idea  of  the  service  of  one  of  the  arch- 
pillars  of  life  toward  the  other  brings  that  cry  of 
personality,  "ingratitude."  Here  knowledge  of 
the  key  of  the  midst  is  lost.  Justice  establishes  the 
midst,  granting  the  wealth  of  the  soul  of  the  midst 
to  two  as  long  as  two  believe  in  the  power  of  the 
eternal  triune  one  to  sustain  two.  Gratitude  be- 
longeth  to  the  Law  which  giveth  and  upbraideth 
not. 

Wherever  in  civilization  one  pillar  of  life  is 
charitable  toward  the  other,  two  fail  the  Law,  and 
the  key-stone  of  the  archway  falls  from  place 
while  two  become  poor  and  weak,  unsheltered  and 
without  stay  from  above.  Poverty  here  and  wealth 
there  are  related  to  each  other,  lying  opposite  each 
other,  for  the  life  of  that  law  which  is  sick  and  in 
prison  wherever  the  equality  of  opposites  is  un- 
recognized and  made  manifest  in  the  one  arch  law. 
There  is  a  triune  central  relation  to  be  seen  be- 
tween the  saint  and  the  sinner,  the  master  and  the 
servant;  and  when  this  relation  is  seen,  there  is 
neither  bond  nor  free,  saint  nor  sinner,  good  nor 
evil. 

Poverty  is  not  man's  but  the  Law's :  riches  is  not 


160  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

man's  but  the  Soul's,  the  triune  Law  manifest  in 
two  gives  the  whole  body  of  life  to  the  Lord.  The 
glory  of  the  Law  belongs  to  rich  and  poor,  saint 
and  sinner.  Sin,  poverty,  crime,  is  the  burden  of 
the  Law  and  not  the  burden  of  humanity.  Man  re- 
deems the  Law  from  prison,  to  be  redeemed  by  its 
regenerative  triune  relations.  In  all  dual  relation 
the  triune  One  is  in  prison. 

We  seek  to  lift  the  burden  of  crime  and  poverty 
and  injustice  from  the  world,  not  to  serve  man,  but 
to  serve  the  One  Law  not  yet  made  flesh  and  dwell- 
ing among  us.  Service  shall  be  unto  the  triune 
Law,  Love  shall  be  unto  the  triune  Law,  charity 
shall  be  unto  Him  that  hath  died,  with  the  sins  of 
the  world  upon  Him. 

In  the  regeneration  our  service  will  be  given  to 
the  One  Law  who  cureth  all  our  infirmities.  Ser- 
vice of  the  holy  see  shall  establish  a  just  ephah,  and 
the  soul  of  a  dual  opposite  equal  life  shall  thus 
serve  man,  and  feed  man,  and  enrich  man,  and  the 
charity  which  is  given  by  the  combined  forces  and 
organizations  of  the  earth,  shall  be,  not  the  charity 
of  one  pillar  of  life  toward  the  other,  but  that 
charity  to  the  Law  which  establishes  the  One  body 
which  is  Life.  And  there  abideth  faith,  hope,  and 
charity,  and  the  greatest  of  these  is  the  third, 
which  bestoweth  Love  over  and  in  all  as  the  Law  of 
the  Fourth.  Sell  all  that  thou  hast  and  bestow 
this  charity. 

The  pillars  of  the  porch  of  Solomon's  Temple 
are  dual.  "And  he  called  the  name  of  that  on  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  161 

right  Jachin,  and  the  name  of  that  on  the  left 
Boaz."  From  Josephus  we  have  that  the  pillar 
Boaz  is  black,  and  the  pillar  Jachin  is  white.  Now 
these  are  word  forms  with  an  involved  life  as  well 
as  a  body.  This  word  Boaz  is  a  universal  word  re- 
lated to  another  universal  One,  Ruth. 

"Boaz,"  a  pillar  of  the  temple  in  which  we  shall 
build,  is  a  kinsman  of  Naomi.  It  is  at  the  feet  of 
Boaz  that  Ruth  lies ;  and  Boaz  and  Ruth  establish 
the  house  of  David.  The  Bible  is  a  book  of  natu- 
ral relations,  defined  by  the  word,  to  be  interpreted 
by  the  Law.  These  relations  are  to  be  noted  in 
that  regenerative  era  which  knows  no  sex  in  the 
word.  For  in  the  regeneration  we  turn  back  and 
read  the  old  first  testament  with  the  regenerative 
eye  in  which  is  "neither  male  nor  female."  In  that 
turning  back  we  shall  lie  at  the  feet  of  Boaz,  and 
we  also  shall  wed  Ruth,  and  Naomi  shall  be  the  na- 
ture mother,  in-the-law,  of  us  all. 

Boaz  is  the  black  pillar  of  life's  temple,  the 
negative,  the  seed  pillar,  which  establishes  the 
triune  one.  Has  not  art  recorded  for  us  in  fact 
(which  has  been  hidden  as  blasphemy)  the  nature 
record,  that  the  first  Madonna  is  clack,  that  the 
first  wife  of  man  is  black,  and  are  not  these  records 
in  legend  and  art  facts  today?  Is  not  there  a 
plane  in  the  scale  of  understanding  where  the 
woman  arm  of  law  is  black,  and  full  of  sin  and  sex, 
and  is  not  a  curse  upon  the  negative  arm  of  law, 
which  is  the  woman?  Is  it  not  for  the  seed  of  the 
woman  that  the  world  waits  for  its  redemption? 


162  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Is  not  our  understanding  of  the  woman  today 
black?  Is  not  the  wife  of  the  Law  blackened  by 
the  ignorance  of  civilization? 

Black  is  the  seed  word.  The  days  of  our  Genesis 
are  seed  days,  days  which  exist  for  that  which  is 
to  come.  The  generation  exists  only  for  the  regen- 
eration. The  Creative  days  of  the  beginning  are 
black  days,  seeds  only.  "And  the  evening  and  the 
morning"  were  all  the  creative  days, — days  cover- 
ing the  night. 

We  are  today  yet  striving  to  establish  civiliza- 
tion upon  the  theory  that  the  black  Boaz  serves  the 
white  Jachin,  that  woman  serves  man,  and  that  one 
arm  of  the  duality  can  be  charitable  toward  the 
other  arm  and  thus  give  alms.  The  theory  is  deg- 
radation to  the  servant  and  the  master.  One  pil- 
lar cannot  serve  the  other,  each  serves  the  &Tch-way 
of  life,  and  each  shall  receive  equally  the  life  more 
abundant  from  the  keystone  of  the  way.  The  rich 
pillar  and  the  poor  pillar,  the  labor  pillar  and  the 
capital  pillar,  are  to  be  seen  from  the  keystone, 
which  is  the  soul  of  Law,  the  receiver  and  the 
equal  distributor  of  force  which  is  life.  Let  him 
that  glorieth  glory  neither  in  poverty  nor  riches,  in 
sickness  nor  in  health,  neither  in  being  saint  nor 
sinner ;  "Let  him  that  glorieth  glory  in  the  Law." 

The  eye  of  intelligence,  born  of  understanding 
of  the  natural  triune  one,  will  discern  today  the 
"cloven  foot"  which  is  not  concealed.  Civilization 
cannot  stand  upon  the  charity  of  one  arm  of  the 
dual  opposite  relation  toward  the  other  arm.  It 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  163 

is  not  the  poor  man  who  needs  our  charity.  Man's 
poverty  is  the  poverty  of  the  Lord,  "And  ye  gave 
me  no  meat."  Establish  the  justice  of  the  triune 
one  relation  and  the  Law  feeds,  and  shelters,  and 
bestows  life.  The  poor  and  the  rich,  the  saint  and 
the  sinner,  exist  in  the  law  of  the  first  positive-neg- 
tive  covenant,  upon  which  civilization  still  rests. 
The  poor  and  the  rich  exist  for  the  primitive  law, 
preserving  the  equilibrium  of  the  world  by  the 
Satanic  motion  to-and-fro,  during  the  reign  of  ig- 
norance before  the  birth  of  the  One  square  Law  in 
the  understanding  of  nations  and  man.  The  poor 
hold  the  rich  in  motion,  the  rich  hold  the  poor  in 
motion  for  the  passing  soul  of  things. 

The  poor  exist,  as  the  rich  exist,  for  the  passing 
soul  before  the  regenerative  eternal  soul  of  the  tri- 
une One  is  manifest  in  the  flesh  of  governments 
and  in  the  brain  of  the  race.  This  passing  soul 
passes  through  the  stages  of  animal  existence,  of 
animal  conditions  which  are  born  of  that  ignor- 
ance which  is  ignorance  of  the  triune  relativities 
of  One  law.  The  soul  of  modern  civilization  is  yet 
evolving  through  animal  existence,  sustained  by 
the  to-and-fro  "up  and  down"  motion  of  the  cloven- 
footed  Satanic  one,  until  intelligence  reveals  the 
One  way  which  chains  this  motion,  establishing  the 
street  which  is  called  Straight  from  the  midst.  Sa- 
tan defines  its  own  mode  of  motion  as  to-and-fro  in 
the  earth  and  up  and  down  in  it.  This  motion  ar- 
rives not  at  that  goal  which  is  "the  regeneration" 
passing  through  the  earth  establishing  the  Son  of 


164  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

God  at  the  ends  of  the  earth.  Modern  intelligence 
sustains  this  dual  motion  between  two  in  govern- 
ment in  all  religions,  in  all  interpretation,  in  all 
thought  and  action.  In  this  motion  the  art  of  life, 
which  is  the  Square  regeneration,  is  lost  and  the 
fifth  principle  of  the  square  is  "the  lost  word"  of 
relation. 

This  "mode"  moves  from  one  arm  of  the  duality 
to  the  other  without  recognition  of  the  central 
beam  which  gives  the  lawful  weight  and  measure 
and  proportion  of  all  dual  relation.  When  this 
dual  Satanic  motion  of  life  ceases,  then  the  omni- 
presence of  the  central  note  of  time  is  seen  and 
that  note  which  is  neither  yesterday  or  tomorrow, 
but  today,  is  enthroned  in  the  midst,  and  "time 
shall  be  no  more."  When  the  dual  pendulum  mo- 
tion which  marks  time  ceases  in  thought  and  ac- 
tion, time  shall  be  no  more,  and  that  life  which  is 
the  One  eternal  day  shall  be  the  day  which  is  the 
One  day  of  all,  born  of  the  Law,  giving  birth  to 
the  consciousness  which  is  forever  with  the  One 
Law. 

The  magnetic  primitive  manifestation,  in  all 
civilization,  writes  the  central  "beam"  in  the  cen- 
tral self.  Wherever  in  government,  in  church,  in 
sect,  the  positive  is  enthroned,  the  dual  passing 
self  center  is  established.  Here  a  "beam"  is  to  be 
plucked  out,  a  clear  eye  given.  Wherever  the 
primitive  law  and  its  mode  of  motion  is  dominant, 
"Behold  a  beam  is  in  thine  own  eye"  to  be  taken, 
and  the  eye  of  the  One  Law  given,  "Who  layeth 
the  beams  of  his  chambers  in  the  waters." 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  165 

The  pendulum  must  swing  from  rich  to  poor, 
from  slave  to  free,  enslaving  rich  and  poor,  master 
and  slave,  until  time  shall  be  no  more  and  the  day 
which  is  One  day  shall  be  established  upon  earth. 

The  poor  and  the  rich  exist  by  the  primitive 
law,  during  that  era  which  imprisons  the  one  Lord, 
and  the  Son  of  the  woman  of  life.  The  poor  exist 
for  the  passing  soul  of  the  rich,  the  rich  exist  for 
the  passing  soul  of  the  poor,  and  each  yields  unto 
the  other  his  own.  The  weak  lie  within  the  passing 
soul  of  the  strong  and  the  weak.  The  swinging 
pendulum  must  be  maintained  by  nature,  marking 
time,  until  that  intelligence  is  born  which  kills 
time,  to  inaugurate  One,  which  is  squarely  neither 
night  nor  day,  black  nor  white;  "But  it  shall  be 
one  day  which  shall  be  known  to  the  Lord,  not  day 
nor  night."  "And  there  shall  be  no  need  of  the 
sun,  neither  of  the  moon"  .  .  .  "They  shall  come 
and  sing  in  the  height  of  Zion,  and  shall  flow  to- 
gether to  the  goodness  of  the  Lord,  for  wheat  and 
for  wine,  and  for  oil  and  for  the  young  of  the  flock 
and  of  the  herd :  and  their  soul  shall  be  as  a  wat- 
ered garden;  and  they  shall  not  sorrow  any  more 
at  all." 

During  the  generative  reign,  the  pendulum 
must  swing,  in  spite  of  gifts  and  charities,  until 
the  beggar  Lazarus  is  raised  to  the  bosom  of  One 
twice  born  and  twice  named  in  the  heaven  of  the 
Law.  The  poor  are  involved  in  the  life  of  the  rich, 
the  poor  whom  "always  ye  have  with  you."  Man's 
attitude  toward  the  poor  is  his  attitude  toward  the 


166  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

One,  promised  "for  to  come,"  who  "for  your  sakes 
became  poor."  Between  the  poor  and  the  rich  lies 
the  even:  "And  the  rich  shall  not  give  more  and 
the  poor  shall  not  give  less  than  half  a  shekel, 
when  they  give  an  offering  into  the  Lord,  to  make 
an  atonement  for  your  souls." 

All  civilization  has  enthroned  the  swinging  pen- 
dulum of  time,  thus  establishing  the  dual  relation, 
denying  the  trinity  and  its  plane  of  manifestation 
which  must  be  physical,  or  in  the  flesh.  Our  law 
is  a  swinging  law,  which  denies  the  stone  of  the 
midst  which  is  the  head  of  the  corner.  Our  prison- 
ers are  to  be  the  freed  ones  of  the  morrow :  our  mas- 
ters today  are  to  become  the  slaves  of  tomorrow. 
The  free,  the  strong,  the  rich  of  today  are  the 
bound,  the  poor,  the  weak,  of  tomorrow;  and  thus 
life  moves  in  poverty  and  pain,  fall  and  ascension, 
charity  and  want;  a  man  in  hell  and  a  man  in 
heaven;  waiting,  waiting  for  the  Lord  God  Jeho- 
vah to  mount  the  throne  of  the  universe  upon  the 
shoulders  of  rich  and  poor,  bond  and  free,  to  de- 
clare neither  bond  nor  free,  rich  nor  poor,  male  nor 
female:  and  the  sacrifice  is  ended  forever  and  for- 
ever; tears  are  wiped  away,  and  the  life  of  the 
midst  is  the  squared  rounded  life  of  all. 

The  prisoner  in  his  cell — ?  Ah,  that's  the  Lord's 
sacrifice.  The  hungry  babe — the  stricken  mother — 
that's  the  hunger  of  the  Lord  Jesus  called  the 
Christ.  The  staggering  drunkard — with  the  price 
of  a  soul  in  the  treasury  of  these  States — That, 
ah !  why  do  we  not  know  that  that  is  the  crown  of 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  167 

thorns,  pressed  by  the  governments  of  the  earth 
into  the  "cup"  which  is  mine  for  the  regeneration. 
Are  we  not  today  asking  battleships  for  a  world — 
with  which  to  preserve  a  national  honor  and  secure 
the  crown  of  national  supremacy — while  not  a  na- 
tion upon  the  face  of  the  earth  has  the  strength 
to  lift  the  crown  of  thorns  from  His  brow,  when 
not  one  can  be  found  among  them  all  who  dare  lift 
from  Life  the  cup  which  is  wormwood  and  gall 
to  the  Lord  of  Golgotha? 

"And  they  gave  him  vinegar  to  drink  mingled 
with  gall."  .  .  .  "Except  a  man  be  born  again  he 
cannot  see  the  kingdom  of  heaven."  .  .  .  "Father, 
glorify  thy  name.  Then  came  a  voice  from  heaven, 
saying,  I  have  glorified  it,  and  I  will  glorify  it 
again.  The  people  therefore,  that  stood  by,  and 
heard  it,  said  that  it  thundered:  others  said,  an 
angel  spake  unto  him."  .  .  .  "These  things  un- 
derstood not  the  disciples  at  the  first:  but  when 
Jesus  was  glorified,  then  remembered  they  that 
these  things  were  written  of  him,  and  that  they 
had  done  these  things  unto  him." 


CHAPTER  III 

THE  FORERUNNER  AND  THE  ONE 
LAW 

"He  must  increase,  I  must  decrease." 

— John  the  Baptist. 

"Bring  the  vail  that  thou  hast  upon  thee,  and  hold  it." 

— Naomi  to  Ruth. 

America  is  today  awakening  to  the  law  of  facts 
within  her  own  being  to  there  manifest  the  even 
light  of  the  world.  In  this  awakening  must  be 
written  understanding  of  a  law, — which  was  but  a 
voice  crying,  "Prepare  ye  the  way" — one  to  be 
bound,  cast  into  prison,  and  beheaded,  before  the 
multitude  may  "sit  down  upon  the  ground"  and  be 
fed  by  the  "two  fishes"  which  yield  "meat"  of 
righteousness. 

A  dual  law  has  been  a  positive  in  creation.  Dur- 
ing the  reign  of  this  positive  another  law  has  been 
obscured.  That  which  has  been  positive  is  now  to 
become  negative  before  the  newly  discovered  Ether. 
As  the  woman  is  negative  to  the  man  in  generation, 
so  a  law  is  negative  to  Law  in  regeneration. 

As  one  law  is  bound  another  is  set  free  to  do  the 
work  of  the  creator  of  all  holy  forms.  The  domi- 
nance of  one  law  is  to  decrease,  as  manifestation 
of  the  second  is  to  increase;  and,  forever,  the  one 
which  is  the  forerunner  of  the  triune  body  is  the 
one  to  be  bound  and  imprisoned  and  beheaded  for 
the  woman.  These  facts  cannot  be  seen  by  the 
168 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  169 

generative  eye ;  for  they  are  regenerative  facts  be- 
longing to  the  ascending  law.  This  record  of  na- 
ture is  regenerative  record.  Now  art  is  the  nature 
servant  of  the  regeneration. 

The  figure  of  John  the  Baptist  arrives  at  a  di- 
mension which  is  neither  male  nor  female.  The  fig- 
ure of  the  Salome  of  Nature  seven  veiled  is  a  figure 
of  regenerative  relation  belonging  to  the  life  of 
.regenerative  relation  today.  Revelation  will  bring 
nothing  new.  It  comes  to  retell  the  old  upon  new 
planes  of  manifestation.  That  which  is  new  is  not 
the  revelation,  but  the  times  and  the  brains  which 
receive  it.  Nature  has  but  One  revelation  to  all 
ages.  The  revelation  which  is  of  the  One  Law  is 
appearing  today  in  all  forms,  to  all  planes  of  in- 
telligence, to  be  received  by  the  Gentile,  and  be  re- 
jected by  the  self -centered  Jewish  elements  of 
civilization. 

The  revelation  is  re j  ected  wherever  the  multitude 
are  unfed  by  the  "two"  and  the  "five"  of  the  One 
Law.  The  multitude  are  unfed  until  the  seven 
sense  veils  which  obscure  the  woman  of  the  Law  are 
rent,  and  she  stands  before  the  world  with  the 
head  of  John  the  Baptist,  as  naked  law,  and  not 
as  a  female  of  the  generation  related  to  a  male  of 
the  generation. 

The  figures  of  this  beheading  are  figures  of  the 
second  covenant  of  law  with  life,  not  the  first. 
Christianity  has  not  yet  been  fed  from  the  ground 
of  physical  law  by  the  two  fishes  and  the  seven 
barley  loaves  which  yield  the  square  twelve  baskets 


170  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

full  when  broken  by  the  One  Regenerative  Law  of 
the  second  covenant.  Christianity  has  not  been 
fed  by  the  third-fifth  principle  of  the  squared  two 
because  it  has  refused,  and  is  this  hour  refusing, 
to  sit  down  upon  the  ground  and  accept  the  physi- 
cal foundation,  as  the  corner  stone  of  Physical 
revelation.  Physical  law  is  the  stone  rejected,  and 
the  Logos  is  the  physical  law  made  triune  and 
square,  spiritual  flesh  in  all  times. 

To  know  "my  voice"  is  the  business  of  "my 
sheep."  The  multitude  are  fed  from  the  ground. 
That  which  is  handed  down,  even  the  hidden 
manna,  is  handed  to  the  ground,  to  be  eaten  Up. 
The  Law  will  be  revealed  from  the  ground  up  in 
all  the  walks  of  life. 

Art  brings  us  the  inspired  revelation :  the  eye  of 
the  first  covenant  is  ever  blind  to  the  revelations  of 
art,  whose  speech  is  eternally  the  nude  or  naked 
Laze.  The  reception  of  the  revelations  of  the  sec- 
ond covenant  today,  as  in  all  days,  must  rest  with 
the  Gentile,  whose  intellectual  faculties  are  not 
bound  to  Sect  center,  but  are  open  to  the  inspira- 
tion of  a  new  creative  relation,  which  in  seeming 
to  destroy  the  old  establishes  through  a  regenera- 
tion. 

A  recently  discovered  tablet,  bearing  the  in- 
scription with  which  the  soul  announces  her  re- 
demption reads,  "I  have  escaped  from  the  lament- 
able and  cruel  circle :  I  have  set  my  eager  feet  with- 
in the  longed  for  ring,  I  have  passed  to  the  bosom 
of  the  Mistress  and  Queen  of  the  underworld." 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  171 

John  Baptist  is  the  figure  cut  off  by  the  invo- 
lution. He  is  the  figure  word  of  the  external  limi- 
tation of  Law.  The  involution,  upon  every  plane, 
will  be  the  force  which,  rising  with  the  law,  cuts 
off  the  external  expansion,  to  establish  an  involu- 
tion, as  the  creative  force,  of  a  regeneration.  The 
involution  of  the  Seven  expansive  periods,  or  days, 
will  be  seven  veiled.  And  those  veils  will  be  holy, 
holy  unto  the  Lord  God  of  Hosts.  And  they  will 
be  rent  though  the  heavens  fall,  and  the  naked  law 
of  the  woman  stand  revealed  in  the  house  of  Herod. 

At  Seven,  physical  veils  are  rent,  the  woman  con- 
ceives with  the  breath  of  the  Lord  God.  Here  the 
regeneration  begins  to  be.  At  Seven,  nature,  add- 
ing a  triune  One  to  seven,  arrives  at  Ten ;  the  whole 
Net  is  cast  and  "another  Nine"  is  manifest  in  the 
flesh.  And  thus  the  woman  "is  accompanied  for- 
ever by  the  number  nine." 

"  The  way  I  pass, 

Ne'er  yet  was  run:  Minerva  breathes  the  gale; 
Apollo  guides  me;  and  another  Nine, 
To  my  wrapt  sight,  the  arctic  beams  reveal." 

And  thus  the  "arctic"  North  is  related  to  the  Nine 
of  Law. 

Ancient  legend  declares  that  10  is  the  first  num- 
ber of  Paradise.  Nine  is  the  regeneration.  Seven 
is  the  generated  form.  We  shall  see  that  this 
seven  generative  scale  of  creation  is  completed  only 
by  the  birth  of  9,  from  the  woman  and  the  Law. 
The  seven  scale  is  in  reality  a  ten  scale.  At  seven 


172  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

(and  without  our  musical  scale  we  shall  not  follow 
the  law)  the  fundamental  note  of  the  scale  is  lifted 
up  to  give  the  last  note  of  the  octave,  and  in  this 
the  first  has  become  the  last.  Now  this  last  is  a 
triune  one,  under  the  law.  The  whole  See  here 
must  reveal  the  whole  law  of  ascension.  This  last 
note  of  the  octave,  which  was  the  first,  is  a  note 
of  triune  relation.  As  the  seven  scale  is  the  meas- 
ure of  the  word  of  nature,  as  well  as  the  meas- 
ure of  the  Biblical  measuring  rod,  and  as  all  un- 
derstanding of  creative  ascension  is  measured  by 
this  seven  rod,  and  as  all  spiritual  and  physical 
understanding  rests  upon  this  natural  expression 
of  lifting  up  which  makes  the  first  the  last  and  the 
last  the  first,  the  musical  measuring  rod  may  per- 
haps in  very  truth  be  the  creative  measure  of  the 
creation  which  began  with  the  songs  of  morning 
stars.  In  all  nature,  the  first  the  third  and  the  fifth 
are  holy  unto  the  creative  law.  This  the  first  tri- 
une five-pointed  star  of  the  ascension. 

Nature  in  all  activity  will  carry  the  ascension 
naturally  and  automatically,  from  C  to  C,  covering 
the  physical  ara.  The  ascension  rests  upon  the 
triune  note  which  closes  the  scale  and  which  was 
the  first  and  is  the  last,  and,  as  the  last,  is  also  the 
first  note  of  new  ascending  scale.  As  the  first  note 
our  C  is  one,  as  the  last  note  of  the  scale  the  funda- 
mental one  is  8.  As  the  first  note  of  the  new  as- 
cending scale  the  same  note  is  Nine, — or  one-I — 
here  entering  the  paradise  which  is  Ten :  a  paradise 
guarded,  in  all  fact  and  ancient  legend  which  re- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  173 

cords  fact,  by  one,  who  holds  the  dual  keys  of  fall 
and  ascension.  At  seven  we  see  the  fulfilment  of 
the  one  Law.  This  note  seven  is  musically  Be.  At 
seven  the  human  voice  (and  all  human  affairs) 
meets  a  natural  fall,  where,  to  overcome  the  fall, 
the  involved  one,  which  was  the  fundamental  one, 
is  lifted  up  to  complete  the  octave,  expressing  upon 
the  closing  note  the  whole  seven  (evolved  from  one) 
with  the  eighth  and  the  ninth,  involving  the  Sev- 
enth in  an  immortal  union  with  the  fundamental 
one,  forming  a  union  reaching  from  C  to  C. 

That  the  creative  law  should  today  seek  the 
voice  of  music  as  its  interpreter  is  a  natural  rela- 
tivity. The  sky  of  the  times  is  full  of  morning 
stars.  "Cast  thy  bread  upon  the  waters.  .  .  Give 
a  portion  to  seven,  also  to  eight." 


CHAPTER  IV 
THE  SABBATH  OF  THE  LAW 

"  Well  it  is    earth    with    me :    Silence    resumes  her 

reign: 

I  will  be  patient  and  proud,  and  soberly  acquiesce. 
Give  me  the  keys,  I  feel    for  the    common    chord 

again, 

Sliding  by  semitones  till  I  sink  to  the  minor,  yes, 
And  I  blunt  it  into  a  ninth,  and  I  stand  on  alien 

ground, 
Surveying  a  while  the  heights  I  rolled  from  into  the 

deep; 
Which,  hark,  I  have  dared  and  done,  for  my  resting 

place  is  found, 
The  C  Major  of  this  life." — Browning. 

Nature  in  automatic  motion  will  carry  creation 
over  and  through  the  seven  scale  covering  six  cre- 
ative days.  The  struggle  of  all  life  in  all  affairs  is 
to  complete  the  liftmg  up  of  the  fundamental, 
completing  the  octave,  revealing  the  Nine,  in  which 
lies  revelation  of  the  universal  One,  which  is  One 
covering  an  evolution  and  involution  from  One  to 
ten  upon  Seven  notes.  Seven  has  an  involution 
to  be  expressed  in  three  added  to  Seven. 

After  the  Seven  creative  days  an  involution  is  to 
stand  forth.  An  Eve  is  to  be  born  from  a  side,  and 
dual  sons  given,  by  the  law,  to  Life.  As  the  phy- 
sical Seven  has  grown,  withm  that  growth  life  has 
planted  the  eternal  involution  for  the  dual  Law. 
When  the  Seven  is  complete  the  involution  stands 
174 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  175 

forth  by  the  eternal  power  of  Law  The  senses  of 
men  and  nations  in  the  march  of  life  mark  time. 

At  the  Seven  limit  Life  in  ascension  commands 
that  men  strike  the  Eighth  which  is  also  the  Ninth 
to  behead  that  automatic  motion  which  swings  the 
pendulum  of  force  back  to  the  fundamental  to  rise 
again  only  to  the  Seventh,  to  ignore  again  the 
Nine,  which  alone  establishes  the  Seventh,  by  the 
midst,  creating  in  the  midst  of  all  life  the  Sabbath 
of  the  Law  in  which  only  the  Triune  One  is  seen 
and  adored. 

At  the  Seven  limit  man,  with  all  the  forces  of 
the  ascension  back  of  him,  with  the  whole  earth 
travailing  with  him,  may  command  the  Nine  and 
bring  forth  the  One  Law  and  be  its  Lord  of  Light. 
In  commanding  the  Nine  he  rises  from  the  power  of 
that  fall  which  carries  man  to  hell,  leaving  him  to 
rise  through  purgatory  by  the  slow  climb  of  ani- 
mal evolutionary  days.  Nine  is  the  rest  where  men 
\ind  nations  survey  "the  heights  I  rolled  from  into 
the  deep."  The  to-and-fro  motion  of  time  cannot 
strike  the  Nine  which  is  lying  in  the  Eighth,  which 
was  the  fundamental  and  is  lifted  up  and  held  as 
the  Mount  of  the  Law  The  to-and-fro  motion  can- 
not establish  the  Fifth  principle  of  the  scale  or  es- 
cape to  another  scale  by  way  of  a  fifth  principle. 
For  the  temple  of  music,  made  under  the  law,  has 
a  black  keyed  pillar  and  a  white  pillar — and  tne 
black  pillar  is  again  Boaz,  at  whose  feet  we  learn 
to  establish  the  square  House,  which  is  the  dual 
House  of  David,  in  which  lies  a  fountain  of  ascend- 
ing Life. 


176  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

The  magnetic  law  swings  from  one  to  eight, 
eight  to  one.  Ignoring  the  fifth  it  cannot  estab- 
lish relation  between  the  third  and  the  fifth;  it 
therefore  cannot  strike  the  common  chord  of  Law ; 
it  can  only  see-saw.  The  first  primitive  law  knows 
only  the  primitive  motion  which  swings  to-and-fro 
in  time.  The  second  covenant  brings  the  Law  of 
the  Sabbath,  healing  upon  the  Sabbath  Day,  to  de- 
clare time  shall  be  no  more.  The  second  covenant 
therefore  cuts  out  the  primitive  motion  which 
marks  time  and  declares  a  resurrection  which  is  an 
ascension  of  time  unto  One  Day,  which  is  neither 
black  nor  white  on  any  plane. 

The  Sabbath  falling  at  seven  reaches  for  the 
fundamental  of  the  scale  to  write  the  triune  one 
last  and  first  as  Nine.  This  "Sabbath  Day's  Jour- 
ney" shall  be  taken  in  the  understanding  of  men 
and  nations.  Having  been  taken  we  do  the  whole 
journey,  putting  away  the  see-saw  motion  of  in- 
fants, becoming  the  man-child  of  the  One  Law 
seeking  lawful  ascension  by  the  One  Square  Way. 

At  Seven  masculine,  or  male,  impulse,  sinks  na- 
tions and  men  to  the  fundamental.  Unless  the  Nine 
appears  there  is  no  escape  from  the  perpetual  fall 
and  limited  ascension.  Man  and  nation  reaches 
the  Nine  to  view  the  heights  above  and  the  depths 
below.  Government  is  founded  upon  law.  Law 
shall  not  ignore  Law.  At  Seven  Bethlehem  is 
given  and  here  a  triune  birth  shall  take  place 
among  the  animal  forces  of  brains  and  peoples 
which  shall  redeem  men  and  the  nations  they  have 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  177 

conceived.  The  pendulum  of  the  primitive  law 
measures  an  activity  which  falls  to  the  fundamen- 
tal and  remains,  without  lifting  up  the  original 
type  to  the  place  in  the  ascension  which  redeems 
from  that  fall  which  is  a  to-and-fro  devilish  fall 
in  all  the  earth.  The  fundamental  is  not  lifted  up 
to  fall  agam,  but  to  establish  natural  ascension 
upon  a  higher  plane  of  activity. 

The  scale  is  the  one  scale  of  the  measure  of  prog- 
ress. To  perfect  the  natural  scale  is  the  art  of 
the  science  of  Harmony.  The  fundamental  of 
every  scale  of  evolution  will  mark  for  humanity 
the  place  and  time  of  its  ascension.  Harmony  is  a 
problem  of  time,  and  "my  times"  are  fixed  and 
sure  in  the  measure  which  is  the  rod  and  staff  of 
life.  The  fundamental  shall  be  accompanied  for- 
ever by  the  number  Nine  for  ascension. 

We  study  "the  nine"  first  as  the  third,  then  as 
the  fifth,  and  these  lie  at  the  center  of  the  diameter 
of  the  earth  which  is  measured  by  that  Law  which 
marks  off  Seven  and  leaves  an  over  plus  to  estab- 
lish Seven  in  Nine  (I.) 

The  third  we  shall  see  as  the  central  one  between 
opposites  in  the  diameter  of  the  earth  reaching 
from  C  to  C.  And  when  we  have  squared  the  circle 
we  shall  see  this  first  as  the  third  and  the  fifth. 
We  shall  see  the  divine  Nine  over  all  declaring  I 
Am.  The  hundred  and  fifty  and  three  are  omni- 
present in  the  whole  Net — which  is  the  whole  O  and 
the  whole  I.  And  these  lie  in  that  open  C  which  is 
so  closely  related  to  the  G,  or  the  fifth  of  the  scale 


178  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

of  C.  Through  this  central  Fifth  the  science  of 
Harmony  escapes  to  new  scale,  accomplishing  the 
fulfillment  of  the  scale  which  reached  from  C  to  C. 
Government  cannot  find  the  science  of  national 
immortality  without  the  support  of  the  science  of 
Harmony.  Nature  herself  then  is  the  author  of 
an  idea  which  claims  government  support  for  the 
Art  of  Harmony.  Government  is  not  only  a  sci- 
ence, but  a  science  which  is  a  lost  art. 

We  have  said  that  The  Logos  is  the  Fifth  prin- 
ciple of  the  Law  of  Holy  Trinity,  which  is  the  One 
square,  static  physical  law  of  all  force.  The  Logos 
is  the  first  and  the  third  and  the  fifth  principle. 
It  is  the  Nine  within  the  Ten  Net.  Man  casts  him- 
self into  the  See  to  find  the  Logos  of  the  Word; 
having  found  he  knows;  he  no  longer  believes,  he 
has  taken  the  Sabbath  Day's  journey  and  is 
healed. 

The  purpose  of  all  Law  is  to  rise  from  01  to  10, 
compassing  the  Nine  around  with  understanding. 
Wherever  the  Nine  is  Beatrice  is.  Wherever  Bea- 
trice is  the  Triune  body  of  Law  is.  In  the  pas- 
sage of  the  seed  O  from  Ol  to  1O  the  ascension  will 
form  the  figure  nine  at  the  center  of  the  arch-way 
of  ascension  and  declare  IT  to  be  the  key-stone  of 
the  arch-way,  which  way  has  lifted  up  the  seed  O 
to  be  the  head  of  the  figure  which  is  1.  Why  do 
we  worship  the  ascended  figure  of  national  life 
which  we  call  Old  Glory?  Conventionalize  this 
figure  Nine, — that  is,  square  its  circle, — and  what 
figure  have  we?  Now  relate  this  figure  to  the  as- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  179 

cension  of  Life  and  behold  the  reality  of  instinc- 
tive worship,  following  the  flag  from  finite  to 
infinite. 

Dante  has  written  again  the  natural  Bible  of 
Life,  defining  the  woman  and  her  place  in  the  Law 
as  the  Nine  manifestation.  She  is  interpreted  by 
the  place  from  which  she  derives  her  name.  This 
Nine  descends  to  purgatory  to  lift  up  the  one  re- 
lated to  the  Nine  by  a  natural,  immortal  bond.  The 
numeral  letter  of  this  Nine  is  forever  I,  a  letter 
returning  to  the  original  one  for  its  form.  Nine 
is  the  fundamental  of  a  new  scale  of  ascension,  for 
all  is  weighted  and  measured  by  the  One  Rod.  At 
Seven,  veils  which  cover  physical  evolution  are 
rent,  the  woman  is  revealed,  and  the  fundamental 
declares  that  the  whole  scale  is  "I  even  I."  Where 
the  woman  is  revealed  life  throughout  the  universe 
enters  the  paradise  of  regeneration.  At  the  thresh- 
old of  this  paradise  the  nation  stands  today  with- 
out Beatrice.  The  Paradise  of  earth  is  a  posses- 
sion of  the  Law,  to  be  bestowed  upon  all  physical 
forms,  lifting  the  earth  itself  to  that  paradise 
which  descends  from  above.  Physical  knowledge 
we  are  today  to  transmute  to  its  square  fourth  di- 
mension— holding  the  fifth  principle. 

Prof.  Duncan  in  his  recent  work,  "The  New 
Knowledge,"  says:  "We  believe  that  the  alchem- 
ists were  right,  that  matter  is  not  only  trans- 
mutable,  but  transmutwg,  and  this  without  the 
aid  of  any  Philosopher's  stone,  diabolical  influence, 
nor  even  the  modern  appliances  of  a  scientific  lab- 


180  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

oratory.  Nay,  in  spite  of  them;  for,  apparently, 
no  human  effort  can  either  aid  or  hinder  the  pro- 
cess. It  seems  to  be  the  very  symbol  of  inevitabil- 
ity." 

All  discovery,  all  life,  is  commanding  Thought 
to  arise  from  among  the  dead,  to  enter  the  paradise 
of  the  One  Law.  There  is  no  entrance  to  this  para- 
dise written  save  an  entrance  made  by  the  woman, 
"made  under  the  law."  Dante  bids  us  note  that 
this  woman  must  have  "emerald  eyes,"  nature  eyes, 
eyes  of  the  creative  sea. 

When  the  fundamental  one  has  been  lifted  up  a 
new  generative  plane  is  opened  for  life's  ascend- 
ing impulse.  When  the  fundamental  one  has  been 
lifted  up  the  One  which  is  the  whole  One  (scale)  is 
manifest,  and  the  chord  struck  is  a  first,  a  third, 
a  fifth,  and  an  eighth  which  is  also  a  ninth.  There 
is  no  way  in  life  and  law  to  get  the  last  note  of  your 
scale  save  by  a  return  to  the  fundamental  Do. 
There  is  no  way  to  get  the  first  note  of  an  ascend- 
ing scale  save  by  striking  again  the  fundamental 
which  has  lifted  up  itself. 

The  generative  process  is  finished.  America  is 
ready  to  become  the  living  soul  which  is  the  quick- 
ening spirit.  She  is  ready  for  the  leap  of  life 
which  lies  between  the  external  limit  and  the  re- 
generative morning.  By  this  leap  she  will  estab- 
lish the  regenerative  relations  at  her  ballot  box. 
The  regeneration  there  inaugurated  will  fall  under 
the  Law,  "subject  unto  the  Law." 

All  Life  today  is  at  the  bridge  which  lies  between 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  181 

the  old  order  and  the  new.  Is  there  no  "Captain 
of  the  Gate"  among  the  nations  of  the  earth?  No 
man  among  them  all  to  push  the  Lay  of  Ancient 
Rome  through  to  infinity?  Is  the  One  Law 
to  have  no  body  of  flesh?  No  Horatius,  to  stand 
on  either  side  and  keep  the  Bridge  with  me? 

At  the  place  where  the  fundamental  note  is  to  be 
lifted  up  all  masculine  magnetic  forces  will  array 
themselves  against  the  ascension.  Their  expansive 
pull  will  unconsciously  be  downward.  At  this 
place  war  arises  between  the  natural  elements 
which  naturally  re-establish  the  motion  of  the  fall 
and  the  natural  elements  which  seek  to  establish 
that  straight  way  which  is  a  way  of  peace  and  a 
natural  restatement  of  fundamentals.  Humanity 
arrays  himself  upon  either  side:  and  here  the  One 
battle  is  fought  in  all  ages. 

Liberty  is  the  woman  note  of  time,  a  note  in- 
volved from  the  beginning.  Liberty  seeks  the 
freedom  of  the  Law  in  all  conflicts.  Liberty  is  the 
note  struck  to  be  struck  again  until  the  One  Law 
is  released  from  that  prison  house  which  is  the  brain 
cell  of  the  world.  Liberty  has  written  neither  bond 
nor  free,  but  One  in  the  Christ,  involved  in  the  be- 
ginning. Liberty  is  won  for  creation  not  for  man. 
Man's  liberty  is  won  through  creative  law  for  Life 
and  thus  for  man.  When  the  One  Law  is  free 
man  is  established.  No  man  is  in  reality  fighting 
for  the  self.  His  instinct  is  true ;  his  definition  of 
his  instinct  is  false.  His  fight  is  for  the  Liberty 
of  the  One  over  all. 


182  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

America  is  called  upon  today  to  strike  again  her 
own  fundamental  for  the  ascension  of  life 
throughout  the  world.  The  fundamental  ordained 
by  force  is  established  by  Thought.  The  funda- 
mental in  place  as  first  and  last  declares  the  reap- 
ing time  which  is  at  once  the  hour  of  the  sower  and 
the  reaper.  The  proposition  of  nature  is  to  this 
day  inaugurate  Thought.  Man  to  receive  the  One 
law  has  but  one  mental  condition  to  meet ;  he  must 
sell  all  that  he  hath;  he  must  become  as  the  little 
child;  for  the  revelation  is  an  A  B  C  revelation. 
At  the  advent  of  understanding  which  grants  Lib- 
erty to  Law  instead  of  to  men  the  wisdom  of  the 
world  becomes  foolishness.  The  nation  which 
seemeth  to  be  wise  in  this  world,  "let  him  become 
a  fool,  that  he  may  be  wise."  Only  this  "fool"  shall 
find  the  holy  grail.  For  the  ways  of  the  Law  are 
not  the  ways  of  men.  This  "fool"  alone  grasps 
the  Sacred  Lance  which  cures  Amfortas  of  the 
original  primitive  law.  For  this  sick  king  life 
holds  but  one  cure,  in  the  hands  of  the  "fool"  who 
conquers  the  Seven  deadly  foes  of  the  primitive 
law  and  rises  to  the  Nine  to  behold  the  Golden  Tree 
of  immortality. 

A  return  to  nature  sends  us  back  to  a  study  of 
the  Seven  law  which  is  the  Law  of  the  Sabbath. 
The  regeneration  is  to  inaugurate  a  relativity 
which  establishes  that  Sabbath  which  hath  no  end. 
The  Seven  scale  of  creative  measure  will  be  the 
scale  of  C  throughout  all  activity.  From  Seven  to 
Ten  nations  face  the  "Sabbath  Day's  journey,"  in 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  183 

which  lies  the  revelation  and  the  law  of  ascension 
for  all  the  earth.  This  ascension  first  descends  to 
the  original  one  to  lift  up. 

The  whole  problem  rests  upon  the  law  which 
reaches  at  Six  for  the  fundamental  note  to  estab- 
lish One  which  covers  not  a  note  in  a  place,  but  One 
which  covers  a  plane  of  evolution  reaching  out 
from  One  back  and  up  to  one  which  is  10.  America 
is  to  set  the  seal  of  the  One  Law  upon  the  activi- 
ties of  this  hour.  The  call  of  Life  is  for  men  of 
brains,  willing  to  be  illumined  by  the  One  over  all. 
We  face  those  last  days  which  face  the  command  of 
nature  to  lift  up  and  "be  ye  lifted  up."  Animals 
naturally  return  to  the  original  note  to  fall  and 
rise  under  the  slow  motions  of  ascension  from  that 
note.  Men  return  to  the  fundamental  to  lift  up 
and  re-establish  the  fundamental  by  a  quick  union 
with  the  one  above.  The  crisis  today  is  not  safe 
with  the  impulse  of  justice,  and  the  automatic 
judgments  of  men.  The  crisis  is  to  be  met  by  the 
reason  and  justice  of  Eternal  Law,  the  same  yes- 
terday, today  and  forever.  No  man's  opinion 
counts  this  day,  whatever  his  high  office.  The 
opinion  of  none  is  asked  or  taken;  "the  way  ye 
know."  Nations  having  lost  the  triune  one  law 
have  lost  the  art  of  law  making.  Law  is  not  con- 
ceived of  men  but  handed  down. 

Our  faith  as  a  nation  in  a  Triune  Law  will  be 
tested  by  our  faith  in  the  triune  relation  of  the  One 
Law  to  solve  the  impending  problems.  We  have 
declared  our  faith,  and  denied  its  power.  Neither 


184  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  church  nor  the  state  may  establish  its  faith, 
while  denying  the  manifestation  of  that  faith  in 
the  flesh  of  nations.  Neither  can  meet  tKe  crisis; 
neither  has  entered  the  square  confessional  of  the 
Law  to  confess,  Father,  ice  have  sinned.  The  re- 
generation is  established  by  the  triune  son  of  the 
One  God.  Can  the  nation  denying  the  relativities 
of  Law  claim  to  be  a  follower  of  the  Son?  .... 

Is  the  note  which  is  to  be  written  in  the  Eighth 
place  of  evolutionary  octave  the  woman  note?  Is  the 
woman  the  fundamental?  The  fundamental  is  the 
even  Square.  Neither  the  man  nor  the  woman,  the 
east  nor  the  west,  the  north  nor  the  south,  but  One 
which,  from  the  midst,  lifts  up  and  establishes  the 
whole  earth.  The  fundamental  is  the  diameter  one, 
and  its  whole  square  circle.  Until  the  one  of  the 
midst  is  seen  within,  to  be  enthroned  without,  ele- 
mental chaos  and  the  darkness  of  elemental  chaos 
is  our  portion ;  there  is  no  round  earth. 

One  exists  for  the  square,  not  for  itself.  The  scale 
exists  not  to  be  forever  a  passage  from  one  to 
eight,  but  to  fulfill  the  whole  law  of  the  Seventh 
in  an  escape  through  its  G  or  Fifth  to  new  plane 
of  manifestation.  The  fall  from  the  Eighth  shall 
ever  be  a  fall  to  the  Fifth  only,  in  the  way  of 
ascension.  This  Fifth  lies  as  the  soul  of  the  one 
foursquare. 

10  is  the  Logos  of  that  sound  OM,  the  mother 
sound  of  nature,  defining  Na-OM-I  in  the  law  of 
Ruth. 


CHAPTER  V 

THE  LAW  OF  TRINITY  AND  THE  LAW 
OF  HOLY  TRINITY 

"  Straight  to  the  tripod,  Touch  it  with  the  key." 

— Goethe. 

The  crown  of  immortality  is  given  by  nature 
only  to  realities.  Our  original  covenant  will 
have  to  do  with  the  trinity  of  natural  law  in  all 
the  earth.  In  this  covenant  one  will  usurp  the 
voice  of  the  Law  forming  the  self-center  and  thus 
form  the  triune  relation  which  will  claim  to 
represent  the  whole  square  of  Law.  This  cov- 
enant will  deny  the  holy  trinity,  the  sign  of  which 
is  the  square,  the  sign  of  which  is  the  Nine,  or  I, 
born  as  the  line  of  perpendicular  of  the  square 
pyramid,  the  ego  of  the  pyramid. 

A  science  of  interpretation  will  see  the  trinity 
and  the  holy  trinity,  defining  the  law  of  each.  The 
trinity  will  represent  to  the  understanding  the 
center  between  opposites  which  forms  the  first 
straight  line  of  the  ground.  This  line  will  be  re- 
lated to  the  serpent  of  biblical  record.  This 
straight  one  is  a  line  of  force  to  be  lifted  up  and 
written  in  the  square  Land  of  Shinar. 

The  trinity  forms  the  holy  trinity  by  a  process, 
as  the  horizontal  line  forms  the  square  by  a  pro- 
cess. The  third  principle  of  the  straight  line  lies 
in  the  midst  of  its  opposite  ends.  This  third 
principle  of  trinity  yields  up  its  center  to  the  cen- 
185 


186  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

ter,  or  the  fifth  principle,  of  the  square.  All  Old 
Testament  history  will  cover  the  ground  of  this 
yielding  up  of  the  life  of  the  primitive  one,  a 
yielding  which  is  a  lifting  up  from  the  ground 
of  a  serpent  element.  The  serpent  exists  for  the 
square  of  the  circle,  not  to  form  its  own  circle. 

All  revelation  has  been  crowded  into  the  sym- 
bolism of  the  figure  I,  the  Nine,  which  is  the  vic- 
tory, or  the  positive  expression  of  the  woman  as  the 
Son.  Nine  (or  I)  is  the  sign  of  the  holy  trinity 
of  nature.  Nine  is  the  perpendicular  of  the 
pyramid,  the  I,  the  fulfillment,  the  word  of  the 
perfect  square.  Nine  is  the  word  of  holy  trinity, 
the  Ego  of  existence,  the  one  lifted  up,  the  serpent 
of  the  wilderness.  To  read  the  Nine  is  the  acme  of 
culture,  the  summit  of  all  attainment.  To  learn 
the  Nine  we  become  men  of  letters,  studying  well 
the  letters  of  Paul.  All  primitive  understanding 
ignors  the  Nine.  All  spiritual  attainment  rests 
upon  this  one  which  stands  alone  in  the  alphabet 
of  life.  All  before  this  one  is  chaos  without  form. 
Nine  is  the  entrance  to  paradise  of  which  10  is  the 
first  number.  All  beneath  this  one  is  of  the  earth 
earthy.  Today  the  first  one  is  asking  for  birth. 
Today  man  is  born  out  of  the  whirl  of  primitive 
chaos  into  the  Christian  era. 

The  scale  of  the  primitive  era  will  reach  from 
C  to  G,  and  the  central  note  of  this  scale  will  be 
ME,  a  half  note.  Life  is  ready  to  break  away 
from  this  scale  ascending  to  the  last  C  which  is  H 
which  is  I.  The  central  note  of  the  scale  is  G.  This 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  187 

G.  will  be  seen  as  the  Seven  of  Alphabet  related  to 
the  fifth  note  of  the  scale  of  C.  At  this  fifth  Har- 
mony escapes  to  new  plane  of  expression  through 
the  fifth  principle  of  the  keyboard,  a  dark  seed 
principle  of  five  black  keys  related  inseparable  to 
the  H,  or  Eight  of  the  science  of  Harmony,  which 
gives  all  construction  35 — or  Eight — of  these  keys. 
The  English  Alphabet  cannot  be  defined  separated 
from  the  scale  of  Harmony  which  it  defines. 

It  is  the  habit  of  modern  culture  to  ignore 
Dante's  use  of  the  letter  Nine  in  his  Divine 
Comedy.  Dante  has  written  the  law  of  holy  trin- 
ity and  its  beginning  in  Hell,  or  in  the  serpent  of 
creation.  He  has  written  the  law  of  the  Nine 
which  is  first  a  Third  principle,  then  a  Fifth  prin- 
ciple, and  a  fifth  principle  lifted  up  to  declare  "I 
even  I  am  Beatrice."  The  Logos  of  the  word 
Beatrice  is  Nine,  of  the  word  Virgil  Five,  of  the 
word  Dante,  H.  This  H  is  in  both  Hell  and 
Heaven.  As  Beatrice  is  accompanied  forever  by 
the  number  Nine,  Virgil,  the  teacher  of  Dante  in 
all  the  earth,  is  accompanied  forever  by  the  num- 
ber Five,  which  is  the  central  note  of  the  square 
which  lifted  up  becomes  I,  the  Nine  of  Paradise, 
in  the  understanding  of  nations  and  of  men.  This 
I  is  the  interpretation  and  the  key  to  all  the  scrip- 
tures of  Life. 

Our  understanding  of  natural  construction  will 
begin  with  understanding  of  the  third  principle 
of  the  straight  line.  We  will  need  this  understand- 
ing for  understanding  of  the  square.  As  this  third 


188  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

principle  ascends  we  follow  it.  This  principle  is 
the  soul,  which  must  ascend  and  rise  and  rise  again 
until  in  the  Fourth  gospel  it  is  finished  to  go  no 
more  up  from  the  earth.  The  third  principle  of 
the  trinity  yields  up  itself  to  the  fifth  principle  of 
the  square.  This  yielding  up  will  be  only  at  Gol- 
gotha. Here  Thought  is  born  of  Law;  force 
dies.  As  the  third  rises  to  the  fifth  the  fifth  rises 
to  the  Ninth  to  write  I  Am  the  square,  a  pyramid 
of  Life,  and  to  Him  be  all  the  Glory  and  the  Praise 
and  the  Thanksgiving,  for  He  has  risen  indeed. 

Having  grasped  the  dual  law  of  trinity  and 
holy  trinity  man,  having  begun  the  building  of 
The  Highest  for  Life,  is  ready  to  understand  The 
Temptation  which  falls  in  the  law.  Now  the  ser- 
pent one  shall  not  form  the  circle,  but  the  square. 
Here  natural  Law  is  the  one  leader,  adviser  and 
friend  of  this  nation.  Here  America  faces  The 
Temptation  which  law  must  externalize  exactly 
as  it  must  externalize  the  victory  of  the  temptation. 
Here  we  mind  the  P  and  Q  of  nature,  for  the  Q 
of  victory  will  declare  the  heel  of  the  woman  upon 
the  serpent's  head. 

The  trinity  can  usurp  the  figure  of  the  original 
O.  This  usurpation  is  dreaded  by  Life.  The 
trinity  cannot  usurp  the  figure  of  the  Square, 
which  clothes  the  woman  in  a  descent  of  the  holy 
city  upon  the  understanding.  The  sins  of  the 
world  are  all  upon  the  Law,  a  Law  which,  to  be- 
come I,  first  becomes  A,  that  the  city  AI  may  be 
taken  by  Law  manifest  in  the  soul  of  the  square 
city  of  all  life. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  189 

If  the  mind  will  see  by  the  holy  see  the  differ- 
ences between  the  triune  and  the  holy  triune  it  has 
begun  to  square  the  circle  and  drink  of  the  river 
of  water  of  life. 


CHAPTER  VI 

THE  FALL  OF  LAW  AND  THE 
ASCENSION  THEREOF 

'  "Pis  dangerous  when  the  baser  nature  comes 
Between     the     pass     and     fell    incensed  points  of 
mighty  opposites." — Hamlet. 

Nature's  one  determination  is  to  lift  herself. 
The  ascension  of  her  creative  law  is  the  means  to 
her  end.  Nature  is  the  woman  who  must  be  mar- 
ried to  the  Law  which  is  her  Lord  to  be  redeemed. 
In  the  generative  relation  nature  is  the  positive 
dominant  man  in  a  relation  between  nature  and 
humanity.  In  the  regenerative  era  humanity  is 
the  positive  man  in  relation  to  nature  and  the 
negative  woman  in  relation  to  the  creative  Law, 
conceiving  ever  with  the  One  Law  for  the  ascen- 
sion. 

At  a  limit  of  generative  expansion  Nature,  co- 
operating with  her  highest  achievement,  humanity, 
makes  the  pass  over  from  generative  achievement 
without,  to  regenerative  achievement  within. 
Without  this  co-operation  with  her  higher  self  she 
misses  the  ascension  of  her  Law,  kills  the  passover, 
and  falls.  At  the  passover  the  generative  law 
dies  unto  life.  At  the  passover  manifestation  of 
Law  mounts  from  earth  to  heaven.  At  the  pass- 
over  the  law  of  death  becomes  the  Law  of  Life. 

That  which  falls  and  ascends  in  man  and  nation 
is  Law.  At  a  certain  place  in  the  scale  of  physical 
190 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  191 

creation,  there  occurs  a  relation  of  the  dual  gen- 
erative forces  of  life  which  is  marked  as  the  place 
of  the  Passover.  Here  the  One  Law  must  reign. 
Before  this  Passover  there  must  be  preparation 
by  the  Jew.  From  out  this  dual  basis  a  triune 
one  is  to  appear,  and  thus,  says  nature,  salvation 
is  ever  to  be  of  the  Jew.  The  whole  problem  of 
ascension  rests  upon  a  duality  which  is  to  become 
the  square  triune  one  in  an  order  of  ascension 
manifest  at  the  Passover 

The  law  commands  preparation  for  this  Pass- 
over, for  here  two  who  have  existed  "before  me" 
known  in  nature's  Bible  as  the  thieves  of  humanity, 
are  to  be  crucified  in  the  cross  of  elements  which 
is  made  at  the  Passover,  that  the  whole  triune  one 
may  ascend  from  the  midst  of  them  in  victory 
over  the  fall.  This  picture  of  Calvary  must  be 
seen  in  the  law  of  trinity.  Here  the  victory  of 
ascension  will  lie  between  the  Sixth  and  the  Ninth 
of  our  H  law. 

This  word  "passover"  defines  a  motion  of  dual 
elements  at  the  even.  To  keep  the  passover  is  a 
duty  developed  upon  all  Jewish  forces;  and  all 
dual  forces  are  the  Jewish  forces  of  the  generative 
law  until  these  bring  forth  the  One  of  their  midst 
which  is  Christ,  born  ever  of  the  woman  in  Bethle- 
hem of  Judea.  To  keep  the  law  of  the  passover  is 
the  business  of  America  today.  Words  are  the  body 
of  creative  Law.  This  word  comes  today  seeking  its 
normal  ascension  in  the  understanding  of  a  race. 
Today  sacrifice  within  is  to  be  made,  in  prepara- 


192  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

tion  for  the  last  passover.  Nature  waits  the  co- 
operation of  humanity  to  observe  the  feast,  which 
falls  "after  two  days"  upon  humanity. 

Here  is  a  word  of  universal  omnipotent  mean- 
ing, a  word  defining  the  motion  which  redeems 
"my  two  witnesses"  upon  every  plane  of  mani- 
festation. Is  the  understanding  of  the  external 
feast  to  be  declared  as  naught?  Nay,  the  past  is 
to  be  enthroned.  "The  passover"  will  bring  us 
face  to  face  with"  the  pass  and  fell  incensed 
points  of  mighty  opposites"  where  one  is  released. 

Happy  the  nation,  happy  the  man  and  woman, 
happy  the  national  experience  which  here  chooses 
that  the  one  released  shall  be  the  triune  one,  the 
Christ  of  the  midst. 

The  release  of  the  Christ  at  this  place  in  the 
natural  law  of  ascension  declares  the  crucifixion 
of  the  dual  thieves  and  the  victory  of  life  for 
three,  manifest  as  two  equals.  This  victory  will 
in  every  age,  upon  every  plane,  rest  upon  the  re- 
pentance of  one.  In  every  age  this  repentance  will 
declare  time  to  be  at  the  record  of  Luke,  the  great 
physician.  Neither  man  nor  nation  may  go  up 
to  the  victory  of  the  passover  without  the  woman 
written  within  the  body  of  understanding.  Here 
she  must  stand  at  the  foot  of  a  cross  for  her  hour 
approaches. 

Today  Personality  is  the  Pilate  before  which 
the  nation  stands,  and  before  him  is  compelled  by 
nature  to  choose  Barabbas,  or  Christ,  the  Triune 
Saviour  of  Law.  America  is  hastening  toward  that 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  193 

crisis  which  is  not  her  crisis,  but  the  crucial  dualed 
incensed  point  of  Life  within  her  body.  America 
is  hastening  toward  that  place  in  the  measure  of 
her  life,  where  Law  ascends  to  declare  the  victory 
of  life  over  death.  Here  a  crisis  in  the  life  of  Law. 
Christianity  and  its  words  are  handed  down  in 
every  age  to  every  age.  Christianity  has  to  do 
with  holy  trinity,  Democracy  with  the  dual  basis 
of  the  holy  trinity.  Humanity  has  been  satis- 
fied, until  this  hour,  with  the  definition  which  man 
has  given  of  Democracy  and  Christianity.  Today 
man  asks  not  for  the  interpretations  of  other  men : 
he  asks  for  a  new  relation  with  nature  in  which  he 
shall  stand  face  to  face  with  the  interpretations 
of  natural  law.  He  is  enancipating  himself  from 
personality.  He  is  relating  himself  to  law  to  re- 
late himself  to  the  Lord  whose  name  is  One.  In 
the  church  he  is  freeing  himself  from  ecclesiastical 
control;  in  the  state  from  political  control.  That 
which  dominated  him  is  to  be  dominated  by  him. 
He  is  seeking  his  own  salvation,  breathing  the 
breath  of  life  which  is  the  breath  of  Law.  The 
woman  is  awakening  in  the  brain  of  a  race  to 
conceive  with  the  Law,  not  a  babe  of  the  under- 
standing but  a  man-child  gotten  of  the  Lord. 
"Before  she  travailed,  she  brought  forth;  before 
her  pain  came,  she  was  delivered  of  a  man-child.  .  . 
Behold  I  will  extend  peace  to  her  like  a  river. 
.  .  .  Ye  shall  be  borne  upon  her  sides  and  be 
dandled  upon  her  knees.  As  one  whom  his  mother 
comf orteth,  so  will  I  comfort  you ;  and  ye  shall  be 
comforted  in  Jerusalem." 


194  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Democracy  exists  to  build  the  square  walls  of 
Jerusalem  for  primitive  law,  out  of  the  primitive 
elements  of  Law.  Democracy  is  failure  until  its 
relation  to  nature  is  defined.  Democracy  sustains 
the  even  for  the  natural  law  which  establishes  at 
the  even  the  Lord,  whose  name  is  One.  In  the 
square  triune  body  all  men  are  free  and  equal. 
Democracy  has  derived  its  body  of  life  from  the 
One  Word  which  is  "my  body."  Democracy  is 
the  preparation  for  that  passover  of  the  law  which 
writes  the  victory  of  its  Christ.  Democracy  is 
failure  only  when  it  kills  the  passover  which  occurs 
at  a  place  of  dual  balance.  Democracy  is  dead 
when  denial  of  the  triune  one  reigns  in  ignorance, 
in  the  head.  That  which  is  commanded  of  America 
today  is  a  telling  restatement  of  its  faith  in  Dem- 
ocracy. The  principle  of  Democracy  is  the  nature 
principle  of  holy  trinity.  Holy  trinity  is  first 
trinity.  Democracy  will  seek  the  balance  of  op- 
posit  es,  not  the  annihilation  of  one  arm  of  the 
cross.  Democracy  prepares  an  equality  of  forces 
and  eats  the  passover  with  the  Law.  In  under- 
standing it  preserves  "the  pass  and  fell  incensed 
points  of  mighty  opposites"  for  the  Lord  of 
Hosts.  At  the  even  it  commands  the  release  of  the 
triune  one  from  the  primitive  cross.  It  crucifies 
the  dual  body  of  personality :  it  will  not  crucify  the 
Lord  of  the  midst. 

Democracy  is  recognition  of  the  dual  basis  of 
the  equal  even  Law,  of  the  body  of  the  holy  triune 
One.  Democracy  seeks  first  the  One  Law  and  its 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  195 

manifestation  in  the  flesh  of  the  nation.  De- 
mocracy is  the  religion  of  Law  in  a  square  repub- 
lican form  of  government.  The  republican  form  is 
the  square. 

That  which  is  lacking  today  in  statesmanship  is 
the  power  to  define  unto  Young  America  the  nature 
basis  of  Democracy.  That  basis  lies  in  an  unknown 
natural  law ;  the  law  of  the  Christ,  the  triune  One, 
a  relative  law  which  rises  to  victory  from  the 
midst  of  equal  opposites  to  square  heaven  and 
earth  upon  all  natural  planes  of  creation,  creating 
new  heavens  and  new  worlds. 

"The  pass  and  fell  incensed  points  of  mighty 
opposites"  will  externalize  "the  two  witnesses"  of 
the  creative  law  as  dual  opposite  thieves.  That 
which  these  thieves  steal  is  the  central  triune  One. 
At  the  passover  of  the  dual  creative  elements  in 
equal  opposite  relation  two  are  redeemed  with  the 
law  because  of  the  repentance  of  one.  This  vic- 
tory, if  the  record  and  the  relation  of  the  two  is 
Luke,  will  also  be  the  victory  of  the  triune  Law. 
This  victory  of  ascension  from  the  midst  of  two 
is  the  promise  of  nature.  Here  life  awaits  the 
repentance  of  one  of  the  dual  opposites  to  redeem 
the  Law  and  declare  the  resurrection  of  "the  third 
day."  This  repentance  consists  only  in  recogni- 
tion of  the  Law.  Life  awaits  the  repentance  of 
a  world,  in  church  and  in  state.  For  this  repent- 
ance time  waits  while  the  Law  is  crucified  from 
the  sixth  to  about  the  ninth  hour.  The  limit  of 
physical  creation  is  reached,  the  hour  of  the  even 


196  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

approaches.  Who  now  shall  turn  to  the  Acts, 
entering  "The  Temple  Beautiful"  in  the  ninth 
hour  declaring  the  whole  pyramid  of  life? 

.  .  .The  freedom  for  which  Democracy  strug- 
gles is  freedom  to  form  the  body  of  creative  force 
which  is  Christ  within  the  body  politic.  Democracy 
is  personal.  Democracy  is  universal.  It  is  the 
word  of  ascension.  It  prepares  the  feast  of  the 
passover.  It  is  the  law  of  the  first,  and  the  law 
of  the  second  which  establishes  the  third  in  the 
midst.  It  is  the  word  of  the  omnipresent  One, 
holding  "my  two  witnesses"  in  the  Square  Repub- 
lic of  Life  to  manifestation  of  the  Son  of  light. 
Where  dominance  is,  in  personality  or  party,  in 
state  or  national  head,  Democracy  is  not.  To 
understand  itself  Democracy  understands  the 
triune  relation  of  the  dual  law  which  enthrones  One 
Square  Deific.  As  woman  is  enfranchised  by 
nature  she  will  bring  that  enfranchisement  unto 
Nature,  her  mother,  protector  and  friend.  She 
comes  to  the  political  life  of  America  to  define 
the  Democracy  of  the  one  Law  unto  Man.  She 
comes  to  tell  that  which  no  man  has  yet  discovered ; 
comes  not  to  teach  him,  but  to  learn  with  him; 
comes  not  to  be  taught  of  him,  but  to  be  taught 
with  him;  comes  to  be  dominated,  not  by  him,  but 
by  the  One  Law  with  him. 

In  the  relativities  of  the  cross  which  enthrones 
the  triune  One  we  must  note  the  full  significance 
of  natural  revelation  in  the  fact  that  one  of  the 
opposite  two  repents  and  turns  to  the  Law  in 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  197 

Luke;  while  the  other  enters  the  triune  body, 
which  is  paradise,  by  virtue  of  the  repentance  of 
one  of  the  thieves.  In  the  record  of  Luke  the 
word  thief  has  become  male,  or  positive,  factors. 
At  this  cross  of  elements  in  the  victory  of  the  re- 
generation one  repents,  one  cannot,  one  is  com- 
pelled. Also,  in  the  journey  up  to  Golgotha 
we  find  a  creative  element — one  Simon — "him 
they  compelled,"  to  carry  the  cross  of  the  regen- 
eration. For  this  one  of  the  dual  witnesses  of  cre- 
ation who  is  to  be  compelled  there  is  a  way  of  re- 
demption in  the  One  way  of  life 

Danger  to  the  Lord  of  Life  and  his  ascension 
arises  in  nations  and  men  only  from  the  domi- 
nance of  the  unrepentant  one  of  the  triune  cross, 
which  becomes  one  to  manifest  two.  Danger  can 
arise  from  no  outside  foe.  Danger  is  written  by 
the  Law  in  one  place,  in  one  element,  in  one  mode 
of.  motion.  The  unrepentant  one  of  the  duality 
at  the  passover  is  ever  to  be  compelled. 

Now  the  unrepentant  thief  of  every  duality  will 
be  found  in  the  triune  magnetic  center,  formed  by 
the  self  of  base  metals.  Opposite  lies  one,  at  every 
passover,  who  may  write  the  record  of  Luke  for 
the  world.  Before  the  ascension  of  life  this  one 
arises;  'tis  the  promise;  and  immediately,  at  the 
hour  of  repentance,  the  veil  of  the  whole  temple 
of  life  is  rent  in  the  midst  and  the  suffering  of 
the  Lord  of  Life  is  ended,  for  the  even  has  come 
and  the  Light  promised  is  born.  "And  it  was 
about  the  sixth  hour.  And  that  day  was  the  prep- 
aration, and  the  Sabbath  drew  on." 


198  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Now  the  magnetic  arm  of  the  eternal  dual  rela- 
tion cannot  recognize  and  therefore  cannot  inter- 
pret Law.  This  unrepentant  magnetic  arm  of 
life  is  that  one  who  must  be  taught  by  the 
woman.  It  is  Mary  who  tells  these  things  "unto 
the  eleven  and  all  the  rest."  "It  was  Mary  Mag- 
dalene, and  Joanna,  and  Mary  the  Mother  of 
Jesus  and  other  women  that  were  with  them,  which 
told  these  things  unto  the  disciples."  And  "these 
things"  may  be  told  only  to  the  eleven  at  the  even 
of  the  law. 

"He  was  in  the  world,  and  the  world  was  made 
by  Him,  and  the  world  knew  Him  not.  .  .  .  He 
came  unto  His  own  and  His  own  received  Him 
not.  But  as  many  as  received  Him  to  them  gave 
he  power  to  become  the  sons  of  God,  even  to  them 
that  believed  on  His  name." 

Danger  today  arises,  not  from  a  foe  lying  across 
the  sea  in  a  land  opposite,  but  from  a  foe  lying 
within  the  body  politic  against  which  the  people 
refuse  to  arm  themselves.  Danger  arises  from 
that  dominant  motion  which  at  the  pass  and  fell 
incensed  points  of  the  passover  will  naturally 
relate  itself  to  the  fall  and  imprisonment  of  the 
Lord  of  Life. 

"  To  the  states,  or  any  of  them  or  any  city  of  the 

states, 

Resist  much,  obey  little; 

Once  questioning  obedience,  once  fully  enslaved; 
Once  fully  enslaved,  no  nation,  state,  city  of  this 

earth,  ever  afterward  resumes  its  liberty." 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  199 

America  today,  enslaved,  knows  not  the  voice 
of  Law  as  it  arises  from  among  the  dead.  Her 
government  is  divorced  in  her  understanding,  from 
the  still  small  voice  of  Law.  Our  cry  for  redemp- 
tion is  yet  unto  personality  and  force.  America 
is  the  promise  of  life,  not  because  she  is  America, 
but  because  she  has  grown  up  in  her  place  under 
the  law  of  her  place  to  fulfill  the  destiny  which  is 
written  there  in  the  body  of  the  triune  one.  She 
may  partake  of  the  glory  of  her  place  if  she  will 
fulfill  the  law  of  that  place. 

The  victory  of  the  One  Law  waits  the  will  of  its 
western  arm.  Should  the  west  fail  as  the  new  soul 
of  Life  arises  from  the  incensed  points  of  oppo- 
sites,  the  die  is  cast  and  "the  third  day"  rises  not 
among  the  years  of  law.  America  is  the  whole 
western  world.  .  The  west  arises  to  victory  sec- 
tionally,  before  the  western  world  redeems  the 
whole.  So  our  East  and  West  each  having  indi- 
vidually established  the  triune  body  in  the  self, 
each,  from  his  own  place,  may  arise,  and  with  the 
voice  of  the  great  David  speak  the  word  of  "My 
law  unto  the  Law." 

The  victory  of  the  west  is  not  one  of  dominance ; 
it  is  the  victory  of  recognition  of  Law  as  the 
Head  to  be  obeyed.  The  west  first  sees  and  feels 
and  defines  the  whole  square  body  to  lay  the  foun- 
dation of  the  regenerative  pyramid  of  life.  The 
west  shall  die  to  all  save  the  soul  of  the  midst.  The 
west  shall  compel.  The  west  shall  bring  the  "heave 
offering"  unto  life  which  is  "waved"  and  lifted  up. 


200  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Its  new  brain  belongs  to  the  Law.    Its  brawn  shall 
compel.     Freed  from  tradition  by  birthright,  its 
religion  shall  be  the  religion  of  the  triune  Christ 
manifest  in  the  flesh  of  America.     "And  he  shall 
save  the  people  from  their  sins."    Democracy  con- 
ceived in  the  east  shall    be  born  a  man  child  in  the 
west,  to  ascend  from  the  midst  over  and  in  all. 
Democracy  shall  rob  both  arms  of  the  nation  of 
dominance  to  enthrone  Law.    Democracy  shall  rob 
manhood  of  supremacy,  not  to  enthrone  woman- 
hood, but  to  inaugurate  the  "third  day"  which  is 
the  natural  resurrection  and  the  life.       Under  a 
true  Democracy  the  State  will  yield  up  its  rights, 
but  not  to  national  head.     Capital  will  yield  up 
its  power,  but  not  to  labor.     The  State  right  will 
be  the  triune  right ;  the  Federal   right   the  triune 
right.  The  only  natural  right  is  the  right  of  crea- 
tive law  to  establish  its  "third  day"  for  the  resur- 
rection and  ascension  of  Law  in  which  to  declare  a 
body  which  is  squarely  regenerative  and  self-sus- 
taining. Woman  is  blindly  asking  the  right  to  her 
natural  place  in  the  triune  body  of  regeneration, 
for  she  is  ever  the  daughter  of  Jersualem.  Labor  is 
blindly  asking  its  place  in  the  body  of  the  one  Law. 
Life,  north,  south,  east  and  west,  is  calling   unto 
life  for  the  presence  of  the  Lord  whose  name  is 
One.    Until  the  body  of  the  One  Law  is  seen  in  the 
midst  of  two,  two  in  primitive  relation  will  con- 
tinue to  steal  the  Lord's  portion  which  is  the  soul 
of  the  square  opposite    ones.    In   all   creation  the 
even  arises  to  declare  the  coming  of  the  triune  body 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  201 

of  salvation.  This  "even"  is  not  the  victory  of 
Law,  but  "the  preparation"  which  nature  writes 
among  the  signs  of  the  times  for  the  victory  which 
falls  at  the  sabbath  or  the  seventh  covering  the 
sixth  to  about  the  ninth  hour. 

Now  the  only  begotten  of  the  woman  is  the  Law, 
and  in  the  woman  we  will  search  for  the  son  of  God, 
Lord  of  the  victory  of  Golgotha,  a  victory  which 
culminates  in  the  Ninth  hour,  the  hour  of  the 
woman's  deliverance.  At  the  even  we  will  learn  our 
six  law,  that  the  seven  which  is  over  all  may  arise 
from  the  midst  of  the  even  by  the  command  of  a 
full-grown  understanding.  We  will  not  fear  today 
to  go  "up  to  the  passover."  We  will  "eat  the  pass- 
over"  with  the  Law,  facing  the  pass  and  fell  points 
of  mighty  opposites  in  full  understanding,  with 
knowledge  of  the  voice  of  the  Judas  beast  which 
here  rises  by  an  automatic  motion  to  betray, — a 
beast  chained  in  the  square  only  by  the  under- 
standing. "The  third  day"  we  will  remember  is 
not  the  passover,  but  the  feast  of  the  passover. 
"For  thou  knowest  that  after  two  days  is  the  feast 
of  the  passover."  Our  concern  will  be  about  the 
preparation  for  that  feast  which  we  shall  eat  in 
the  "upper  chamber"  of  Life  with  the  Law,  whose 
name  is  One. 

Now  while  our  even  sign  is  Six,  the  word  of  the 
even  is  11,  (Eleven.)  Six  expansive  creative  periods 
will  we  give  to  animal  expression,  to  cover  the  Six 
of  creation  with  that  "Sabbath  Day's  journey" 
which  lies  in  the  Law  from  Six  on  to  Nine,  where 
we  write  one  with  the  strength  of  Ten. 


202  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

At  the  even  we  will  face  fall  or  ascension.  At 
the  even  we  will  face  the  crucifixion  of  the  dual 
thieves,  or  crucifixion  of  the  Lord  of  a  new  Jeru- 
salem. Here  we  must  lean  not  to  the  ways  of  our 
own  understanding.  We  must  know  the  Law,  for 
without  knowledge  we  will  here  choose  to  rule  over 
us  again  the  primitive  dual  thieves,  seeing  not  the 
Lord  of  their  midst  through  whom  cometh  peace, 
regeneration  and  immortality. 

The  voice  of  the  beast  is  the  same  in  all  ages. 
It  is  that  voice  which  denies  the  Sabbath  in  which 
the  triune  One  is  worshiped  and  adored  by  all.  It 
is  that  voice  which  claims  itself  as  the  one  healer, 
denying  the  Lord  of  the  Seventh  that  central  por- 
tion which  takes  to  itself  the  power  of  its  "two 
witnesses"  to  enthrone  the  squared  power  of  the 
one  of  the  midst  in  each.  Only  the  central  portion 
is  the  creative  lot.  The  beast  of  the  primitive  sense 
will  ever  be  found  pleading  for  the  expansion  of 
the  part  which  naturally  steals  the  central  body  of 
creative  Law.  It  will  destroy  the  even  square  op- 
posite relation  of  the  two  witnesses  of  the  law  that 
it  may  enthrone  the  self  as  the  central  one  over  all. 
A  Republican  form  of  government  will  first  teach 
its  people  to  know  the  ways  of  the  beast,  pointing 
out  its  natural  automatic  characteristics  at  the 
limit  of  physical  expansion.  The  beast  is  defined 
by  the  relativities  of  creative  elements  within  the 
national  body.  The  beast  reveals  itself  at  that 
place  where  of  two  creative  elements,  called  parties, 
one  arises  as  the  dominant  of  all  by  the  will  of  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  203 

people.  At  this  place  the  passover  to  the  square  is 
killed  to  arise  again.  At  a  limit  of  magnetic  ex- 
pansion the  people  will  be  called  up  by  nature  to 
choose  again  Barabbas,  or  the  power  of  the  whole 
triune  One.  At  this  place  Republics  die  by  the  will 
of  the  people  who  choose  not  that  the  Christ,  the 
whole  triune  body  of  Law,  be  released  by  them, 
unto  them.  "All  that  ever  came  before  me  are 
thieves  and  robbers."  Democracy  cannot  enthrone 
the  Nine  until  it  defines  the  thieves.  Democracy  is 
the  science  of  the  Nine. 

Nature  consents  to  the  immortality  of  but  one 
Word,  and  that,  the  body  of  Christ.  Nations  exist 
to  form  that  Word.  To  form  the  Word,  which  is 
a  body  of  relative  force  Democracy  is  handed 
down  from  the  Law.  Democracy  need  make  no  mis- 
takes in  an  intelligent  nation.  Its  way  is  defined. 
In  the  triune  body  a  principle  is  enthroned.  That 
principle  is  not  invented  by  nations.  That  prin- 
ciple is  the  nature  fact  that,  in  the  body  of  the 
whole  triune  law  all  men  are  free  and  equal.  This 
principle  is  the  life  giving  breath  of  Democracy 
breathed  from  the  body  of  life  which  is  Christ. 

America  stands  as  the  figure  of  Democracy. 
Unto  her,  the  woman,  today,  comes  the  Law.  Shall 
it  be  said,  "He  came  unto  his  own  and  his  own  re- 
ceived him  not"?  The  Law  comes  to  the  under- 
standing, to  be  received  by  the  understanding  of 
the  two  witnesses,  the  manhood  and  womanhood  of 
the  nation.  The  Law  brings  to  Democracy  the 
problem  of  the  establishing  of  the  square  triune 


204  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

body  of  creative  force  within  the  ballot  box,  that 
from  this  place  the  Christ  may  be  born  again  of 
the  woman,  born  a  man-child  unto  the  people.  The 
victories  of  Democracy  are  not  the  victories  of 
Barabbas.  Democracy  exists  in  nature  to  form 
the  body  which  is  the  whole  triune  One,  lifting 
Barabbas  to  that  body. 

Wherever  the  relativities  are  established  which 
form  the  One  Word  life,  more  creative  life,  is 
given.  Wherever  the  divine  body  of  Law  is 
builded  by  the  people,  in  understanding  of  the 
woman,  there  the  divine  spirit  of  the  ascension  de- 
scends to  be  the  indwelling  Christ,  called  from 
above  by  the  people.  "And  God  so  loved  the 
world." 

Where  the  one  word  is  formed  the  Bible  of  na- 
ture is  born  to  be  the  guide  of  the  way.  As  the 
nation  forms  the  divine  body  of  Law  it  turns  to 
the  record  of  the  way  it  is  to  journey,  for  this 
Bible  of  nature,  called  the  Bible  of  Christianity,  is 
the  one  Word.  It  is  written  in  the  holy  triune 
body.  Nations  cannot  read  the  book  where  it  is 
not  written.  In  understanding  of  the  third  day 
of  natural  law  understanding  of  the  Word  is  given. 
The  Word  is  a  triune  relation  of  dual  forces 
wherever  found.  Nations  having  turned  to  the 
Law  enter  the  way  of  life  at  the  Acts  of  the  Apos- 
tles. The  people,  forming  the  square,  become  the 
Twelve  Apostles. 

Democracy  will  hold  the  duality  of  creation  to 
a  manifestation  of  the  triune  body.  Government 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  205 

in  a  Democracy  is  not  upon  the  people,  but  upon 
the  square  Law  sustained  by  the  people.  Democ- 
racy is  a  government  of  the  people,  by  the  people, 
for  the  people  in  the  One  Law;  its  constitution  is 
given  from  above  to  be  interpreted  by  the  Nine. 

Democracy  knows  the  beast,  to  see  that  beast  m 
revelation.  The  beast  deceives  the  elect.  And  who 
are  the  elect  ?  The  people.  The  elect  are  the  dual 
forces  which  exist  in  nature  to  write  and  be  writ- 
ten in  the  body  of  the  triune  One.  The  voice  of 
the  beast  is  full  of  all  sophistry.  It  will  deceive 
the  dual  creative  elements  elected  to  bring  forth 
the  triune  one  compelling  them  to  enthrone  the 
serpent.  It  will  deceive  the  western  arm  of  law, 
unless  this  arm  of  intelligence  has  found  its  place 
in  nature,  and  is  no  more  subject  to  the  magnetic 
swing  of  elemental  force.  Now  the  west  is  ever 
the  Upper  House  of  the  Law  which  cannot  elect 
its  own  head  during  the  reign  of  primitive  law  in- 
terpreted by  primitive  understanding.  This  House 
must  rest  squarely  upon  the  dual  basis  of  one  to 
inaugurate  the  ascension  from  base  to  apex  declar- 
ing the  whole  pyramid  and  the  Lord  of  all  Life. 
As  the  west  exists  to  form  the  square,  its  head  may 
arise  only  as  the  figure  of  the  fifth  principle  of 
the  square  established  union. 

The  beast  lies  in  that  natural  era  of  thieves  and 
robbers  which  exists  "before  me."  The  will  must 
obey  the  understanding.  We  are  obedient  to  the 
beast  of  the  fall  until  revelation  enlightens  the  un- 
derstanding creating  a  new  will,  which  is  the  will 


206  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

of  the  lamb  of  Mount  Sion.  Now  the  last  revela- 
tion will  return  us  to  the  beast  of  Genesis.  The 
beast  lies  in  the  first,  the  lamb  lies  in  the  last  to  lie 
with  the  Law  in  that  central  zone  which  is  the 
Lord's  portion  where  the  beast  has  become  the  lion 
of  the  tribe  of  Juda,  and  the  lion  and  the  lamb  are 
led  by  the  children  who  are  led  by  the  One  law. 

We  will  find  our  primitive  beast  to  be  a  primitive 
relation  of  dual  creative  elements  lying  in  the 
primitive  magnetic  law,  forming  center  in  the  self, 
usurping  the  third  principle  of  creative  relation 
to  use  for  personal  creative  ends,  ignorant  of  the 
command  of  the  ascension  that  this  third  principle 
rises  only  to  rise  again,  becoming  the  fifth  prin- 
ciple of  the  square,  to  sing  the  songs  of  Mount 
Sion.  "Touch  me  not ;  I  have  not  yet  ascended"  is 
n  universal  principle  of  ascension. 

The  beast  belongs  to  the  dual  law,  the  lamb  to 
the  triune  one  of  square  holy  trinity.  The  beast 
brings  war,  the  lamb  brings  peace.  Where  only  the 
voice  of  the  beast  is  heard  the  positive  negative 
relation  must  exist  and  the  square  which  is  neither 
positive  or  negative  be  unknown.  Where  the  law 
of  the  square  is  unknown  the  law  of  Democracy  is 
unknown.  Without  the  natural  law  of  Democracy 
Republics  can  be  conceived,  but  not  born.  The 
problem  of  America  today  is,  Shall  We,  the  peo- 
ple, establish  normal  Democratic  relations  with  na- 
ture and  life,  or  invite  the  dragon  to  become  our 
head;  the  dragon  who  wars  with  the  woman  to  de- 
fine himself  by  his  word  to  those  who  have  eyes  to 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  207 

see  and  ears  to  hear  the  voices  of  nature  in  the  life 
of  the  republic  today. 

The  beast  will  see  only  the  dual  statement  of  na- 
ture. He  will  argue  eternally  about  the  equality 
of  men  and  women,  the  inequality  of  good  and  evil, 
labor  and  capital,  rich  and  poor,  Democrat  and 
Republican.  His  idea  of  reform  will  be  the  idea 
of  dual  protection.  To  know  the  voice  of  the  beast 
of  the  primitive  law  is  to  know  the  voice  of  God 
and  the  will  of  God.  To  know  the  beast  is  to  know 
Judas  who  betrays  with  a  kiss. 

All  sophistry  lies  in  the  beast.  Against  him 
there  is  no  defense  save  knowledge  of  the  One  Law. 
Sophistry  lies  in  his  name  and  he  travels  ever  in 
magnetic  packs  seeking  to  destroy  the  wine  of  life 
which  springs  a  fountain  of  immortality  from  the 
portion  which  is  the  Lord's  portion  in  the  natural 
law.  He  lives  to  destroy  the  Eschol  grape  of 
Canaan  which  is  borne  ever  "on  a  staff  between 
two." 

The  man  of  holy  see  looking  upon  the  word  of 
life  will  see  not  its  outer  form  but  its  soul  nor- 
mally born.  The  letter  exists  only  for  the  indwell- 
ing spirit.  All  revelation  finds  itself  in  the  Word. 
For  revelation  the  English  language  exists.  That 
which  lies  under  the  law  of  the  Nine  in  a  fourth  di- 
mension exists  ever  for  interpretation.  Let  us  re- 
late this  beast  of  revelation  to  its  law.  It  is  num- 
bered six,  six,  six,  the  Revelation  says.  Let  us 
search  in  the  English  language  of  Life  for  the 
place  and  characteristic  of  this  beast.  The  letters 


208  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

of  the  Alphabet  under  the  six  law  are  found  in  the 
Sixth,  the  Fifteenth,  and  the  twenty-fourth  places. 
Opposite  and  in  these  places  lie  names.  The  letters 
in  these  places  build  for  us  the  word  of  revelation 
which  defines  for  us  the  beast  of  the  primitive  law, 
forever  associated  with  that  instinct  which  sends 
forth  its  body  in  packs  to  grasp  the  grape  of  the 
wine  which  flows  within  the  blood  of  a  nation. 
Having  found  the  name  of  the  beast  turn  rever- 
ently to  the  word  of  the  Regeneration  and  the  Life 
as  He  speaks  to  this  well  known  animal  quality  of 
the  mind  in  Luke  13 :  32,  and  know  that  this  mes- 
sage to  this  beast  is  the  same  today,  and  that  no 
jot  or  tittle  of  the  word  of  nature  can  fail;  know 
that  that  which  was  spoken  by  the  prophet  is  again 
spoken  today  in  time  and  place  as  the  earth  is 
again  visited  by  a  normal  "day-spring"  from  on 
high.  Knowledge  of  this  animal  of  the  primitive 
law,  belonging  to  an  era  of  magnetic  dominance, 
made  of  one  Samson  a  Judge  in  Israel  in  the 
times  of  the  Philistines. 

The  soul  of  America  is  today  migrating  through 
this  animal  expression,  passing  throuon  to  ascen- 
sion and  not  thru  to  fall.  The  reforms  of  the  hour 
are  to  be  forms  of  restoration.  Life  is  to  be  restored 
to  Law;  nature  is  to  be  enthroned,  that  she  may 
lead  us  into  that  new  relation  with  her  which  shall 
write  victory  over  death.  Death  reigns  where  the 
primitive  generative  law  reigns.  Where  the  gen- 
erative law  reigns  the  duality  reigns  and  the  fall 
is  sure. 

First,  in  reform,  the  restoration  of  the  one  whole 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  209 

triune  body  of  life  to  all  governmental  motions. 
First,  the  restoration  of  the  ballot  of  woman  to  the 
law  of  creation  within  the  body  of  the  Republic. 
First,  the  restoration  of  the  regeneration  to  the 
book  of  natural  life. 

The  dual  system  of  death  is  inaugurated  in  all 
parts  of  the  national  body  by  the  will  of  the  beast 
in  the  will  of  the  people.  This  system  has  perme- 
ated the  whole  body  of  national  life.  We  face  our 
problem  of  national  leprosy  to  be  banished  from 
the  map,  or  to  cure  ourselves  by  the  heel  of  the 
woman.  Is  the  structure  to  fall?  We  have  en- 
throned the  beast  who  exists  for  death, — the  beast 
who  sucks  the  wine  of  life  from  the  brain  of  a  race. 
The  race  has  developed  a  weakness  in  the  brain 
which  calls  for  a  substitute  for  the  wine  of  life  in 
the  body.  This  weakness  of  the  people  we  have 
capitalized  for  revenue.  We  elect  and  defeat  presi- 
dents. The  King  enthroned  by  the  will  of  the 
masculine  law  in  America  is  the  legalized  liquor 
traffic.  We  have  here  organized  to  defeat  that 
birth  of  the  One  Law  whose  victory  is  first  at  Gol- 
gotha. Our  will  is  the  will  of  the  beast,  not  the 
will  of  the  Law  of  ascension  at  the  place  of  a  skull. 

The  Law  knocks  at  the  door  of  understanding. 
A  debauched  dual  unbalanced  brain  will  not  re- 
ceive the  Law.  The  brain  dominated  by  magnetic 
energy  will  see  only  the  duality  of  life.  The  third 
regenerative  relation,  the  invisible  reality,  in  the 
midst  of  two  will  be  a  closed  door.  The  reign  of 
the  duality  goes  naturally  before  the  reign  of  the 


210  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

triune  one  and  all  before  me  is  thief  and  robber. 
The  nation  which  elects  the  liquor  traffic  to  rule 
over  it  will  elect  to  be  ruled  by  the  thieves  and  the 
robbers  who  "are  before  me,"  denying  the  square. 

The  problem  of  our  leprosy  now  is,  Shall  the 
structure  fall?  Is  there  a  cure?  Today  the 
daughters  and  sons  of  revolution  must  answer.  A 
temporary  adjustment  of  relations  cannot  meet 
the  demands  of  the  Time.  Reform  shall  proceed 
from  force  of  intelligence.  In  recognition  of  the 
triune  body  of  life  lies  the  way  of  escape.  The  Re- 
public of  man  is  the  Republic  of  the  Law.  The 
natural  whole  triune  body  of  creative  force  is 
formed  of  the  equal  even  expression  of  opposites 
in  all  the  earth.  This  body  represents  a  union  of 
earth  and  heaven  or  a  union  of  opposites.  This 
body  breathes  the  breath  of  life  in  the  republic  of 
nature.  This  body  shall  be  established  by  the  will 
of  all  at  the  intelligent  command  of  all  the  forces 
of  life.  The  State  recognizing  its  State  Right 
shall  give  to  national  head  a  form  of  interpretation 
which  defines  the  square,  to  lift  up  the  fifth  prin- 
ciple of  the  square  as  the  head  of  the  national 
form,  as  commanded  by  the  constitution.  The 
State  shall  be  the  one  to  kill  the  national  political 
part  which  usurps  the  central  portion,  the  portion 
of  the  people,  the  Lord's  portion.  The  State  shall 
break  the  magnetic  center  which  defeats  the  Law, 
to  declare  One  King  over  all,  born  in  the  flesh  of 
understanding.  The  State  shall  throw  down  the 
thirty  pieces  of  silver.  It  is  the  business  of  Chris- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

tianity  today  to  declare  "my  new  name"  over  all. 
It  is  time  for  Judas  to  write  the  record  of  The 
Acts. 

The  State  Right  is  the  Right  to  preserve  that 
balance  which  preserves  the  Lord's  body  as  the 
property  right  of  the  people  The  State  Right  is 
the  right  to  preserve  the  balanced  regenerative  re- 
lation of  its  creative  elements.  The  State  has 
robbed  itself  of  this  Right ;  it  has  therefore  become 
impotent  in  the  head.  The  State  shall  today  be- 
come the  one  repentant  and  open-eyed,  who  re- 
deems the  Law  at  Golgotha. 

When  ancient  legend  wished  to  record  the  word 
of  death  by  a  definition  of  dual  relations  it  wrote 
the  X  of  dual  law  in  the  skull.  This  X  is  the 
mark  of  the  beast  and  the  symbol  of  death.  It  ex- 
ists to  become  the  Greek  Cross  of  elements ;  it  ex- 
ists not  for  itself.  Where  this  mark  is  enthroned 
at  the  place  of  a  skull  the  body  dies.  These  sym- 
bols are  born  of  nature  and  nations  and  men  eter- 
nally define  themselves,  creating  symbolic  lines  of 
force  by  the  relations  they  establish  between  life 
forces  and  the  head. 

We  know  not,  neither  do  we  love,  the  triune  body 
which  is  the  body  of  art  in  natrue.  "To  learn  to 
love  we  first  learn  to  see,"  says  our  modern  Mater- 
linck:  while  the  ancient  Dante  desclared:  "Happi- 
ness hath  root  in  seeing,  not  in  loving,  which  of 
sight  is  aftergrowth."  Life  brings  but  one  tempta- 
tion. That  temptation  falls  at  "The  pass  and  fell 
incensed  points  of  mighty  opposites."  That 
temptation  seeks  to  sell  the  Lord's  body. 


CHAPTER  VII 
THE  EIGHTH  DAY  OF  RESURRECTION 

"  And  they  came  unto  the  brook  Eshcol,  and  cut 
down  from  hence  a  branch  with  one  cluster  of  grapes> 
and  they  bare  it  between  two  on  a  staff;  and  they 
brought  of  the  pomegranates  and  of  the  figs." 

We  shall  find,  on  entering  the  Canaan  of  the 
Law,  that  the  fruit  which  we  gather  and  bear  on  a 
staff  between  two,  is  a  cluster  of  facts,  facts  to  be 
eaten  up,  yielding  the  wine  of  the  regeneration  to 
the  understanding.  Our  third  principle  born  in 
the  midst  and  borne  over  on  a  staff  betewen  two 
yields  again  understanding  of  the  square,  the  fifth 
principle  of  which  we  are  to  enthrone  in  the  square 
circle  of  life. 

Our  understanding  will  keep  for  the  people  of  a 
natural  republic  the  fast  of  the  third  and  the  fast 
of  the  fifth.  Shall  the  President  fall  under  the  law 
of  the  third,  or  of  the  third  become  the  Fifth  prin- 
ciple of  the  square  in  the  national  wheel,  which  is 
to  be  both  round  and  square  within  and  without? 
To  know  the  intent  of  the  Constitution  we  must  ask 
the  intent  of  the  law  which  gave  and  which  alone 
may  take  away.  The  people  form  the  relativities 
which  form  the  center  from  which  the  President 
arises  to  be  the  symbol  of  their  understanding. 
The  President  derives  his  power  from  the  law  of 
the  center  formed  by  the  people  from  which  he  has 
arisen.  He  will  express  the  characteristics  of  that 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  213 

center  and  be  under  the  law  of  that  central  point. 
His  power  is  limited  by  nature  in  the  relation  of 
forces  which  the  people  have  chosen  to  be  their 
law.  He  represents  today  the  third  part  of  the 
primitive  law.  We  inaugurate  him  on  the  Fourth 
day  of  the  Third  month. 

He  is  normally  under  the  law  of  the  Fourth 
which  from  the  third  brings  forth  the  Fifth.  He 
is  chained  today  by  the  manner  of  his  election  to 
the  fulfillment  of  the  law  of  the  third  principle  of 
the  male,  the  magnetic  primitive  law.  He  rises 
from  the  midst  of  dual,  political  male  forces.  If 
the  midst  from  which  he  arises  is  born  of  opposite 
male  elements  he  is  not  holy  born,  and  he  can  be 
only  the  voice  of  the  relation  which  formed  him. 
He  can  not  be  the  President  of  the  Constitution, 
but  the  President  of  a  political  part  of  the  nation's 
creative  life.  He  cannot  rise  above  the  law  which 
the  people  have  chosen  to  rule  over  them.  The 
problem  of  election  in  a  Republic  is  to  elect  the 
Head  by  the  normal  creation  of  Law.  The  Presi- 
dent elected  will  exactly  represent  that  which  rep- 
resents him.  His  voice,  whatever  his  personal  will, 
will  be  powerless  if  the  voice  of  the  people  has  not 
been  placed  in  the  voice  of  the  One  square  Law. 
The  place  from  which  the  President  rises  is  formed 
by  law.  He,  when  he  is  in  that  place,  partakes  of 
the  glory  of  the  place.  The  struggle  of  Law  is  to 
write  all  the  people  in  the  national  head.  The 
presidential  place  is  the  executive  place  of  the  One 
Law.  The  president  rises  from  the  midst  of  the 
pyramidal  square  as  its  Fifth  principle. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Today  the  President  represents  only  the  third 
part  of  the  primitive  law;  his  constitutional  heri- 
tage is  to  be  the  Fifth  principle  of  the  square  one 
as  Tie  is  defined  by  the  Constitution.  To  inherit  his 
power  as  the  Fifth  principle  of  the  square  govern- 
ment he  must  be  born  of  that  principle  in  the  bal- 
lot box.  Now  the  Fifth  principle  of  the  square  is 
born  only  of  equal  opposites  in  equal  opposite 
function.  This  square  foundation  is  the  funda- 
mental square  deal  of  the  Constitution,  given  by 
natural  law.  The  apex  of  the  pyramid  derives  its 
authority  only  from  the  central  point  of  the  base. 
A  Republic  in  nature  is  a  pyramid  of  universal  life, 
not  a  leaning  Eastern  Tower.  America  is  destined 
to  build  the  Great  Square  Pyramid  with  the  round 
stone  of  the  One  Law  as  its  doorway. 

The  President  of  the  United  States,  the  politi- 
cian will  answer,  is  formed  under  the  law,  rising 
from  the  center  of  dual  opposite  political  parties. 
The  President  is  today  born  of  a  division  of  male 
creative  elements  into  opposite  parts  to  fulfill  the 
creative  condition  of  opposites.  In  this  division 
of  male  forces  nature  has  thrust,  as  she  must,  one 
arm  of  the  division  into  the  negative  place  of  the 
woman;  and  thus  she  has  forced  her  male-female, 
or  positive-negative  generative  relation.  In  this 
forced,  unatural  relation  of  male  elements,  she  has 
fallen  under  the  law  of  the  dominance  of  the  mas- 
culine arm  of  the  generative  relation. 

This  dominance  has  increased  until  the  whole 
equilibrium  of  creative  force  is  destroyed  and  life 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  215 

has  no  redress  save  the  emancipation  of  the  Sons 
of  God  through  the  woman.  For  this  place  of  sin 
and  this  time  in  the  life  of  the  primitive  law  nature 
has  provided  a  way  of  escape  in  the  rise  of  the 
son  of  the  woman. 

Wherever  the  positive-negative  relation  is  writ- 
ten by  the  will  of  the  people  in  the  history  of  the 
nation,  at  the  limit  of  positive  power,  the  woman 
must  rise  to  redeem,  conceiving  with  the  Law.  The 
permanency  of  the  Republic  depends  today  upon 
the  intelligence  of  the  woman,  the  western  arm  of 
the  body  of  the  law,  the  pierced  side  of  the  cruci- 
fixion. 

The  creative  relation  sustained  by  the  male  ele- 
ments of  the  national  body  at  the  ballot  box, 
thrusts  the  man  of  the  duality  into  absolute  power 
and  the  male  element  which  is  in  the  female  place 
into  negative  position.  Thus  the  left  hand  of  life 
is  impotent  in  the  head.  The  enfranchisement  of 
womanhood  alone  can  write  national  political 
bodies  of  creative  force  in  normal  relation  to  na- 
ture. 

The  President  is  shorn  of  his  power  until  he  is 
legally  elected  under  the  square  constitution.  He 
then  inherits  the  power  of  his  place.  As  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States  elected  by  the  magnetic 
law,  which  gathers  the  base  metals  and  excludes 
the  gold,  he  becomes  the  personified  symbol  of  that 
law  taking  on  its  motions,  he  becomes  a  to-and-fro 
motion,  no  longer  staying  still  in  the  house  which 
is  his  home  under  the  Constitution.  At  the  limit  of 


216  THE  XEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  power  of  this  primitive  law  this  motion  is  in- 
tensified till  center  is  broken  and  destroyed. 

The  magnet  law  usurps  the  triune  relations  in 
the  self-center  only  to  a  limit.  At  the  last  days 
of  expansion  the  magnetic  center  is  broken  in  all 
the  earth  and  the  woman  stands  forth  as  the  son  of 
the  Law  clothed  with  the  sun  in  understanding  of 
that  square  deal  of  natural  law  which  sets  twelve 
stars  a-shining  in  the  head. 

It  is  the  third  principle  of  the  magnetic  law 
which  must  rise  to  do  the  square,  defining  the 
Twelve.  The  nation  arriving  at  Twelve  then  sits 
down  in  the  Temple  to  be  taught  of  the  Law.  The 
nation  arriving  at  Twelve  has  formed  the  square 
foundation  and  slain  the  serpent  by  y eliding  its 
head  to  the  seed  of  the  woman.  From  the  center 
of  the  square  rises  the  Fifth  principle  which  is  the 
E  of  English  order — the  principle  of  ascension — 
also  the  M  of  English  order  and  the  double-you 
which  declares  EMANUAL  unto  a  world,  God  with 
us.  Now  the  sum  of  the  Fifth  place  and  the  Four- 
teenth place  and  the  tzcenty-third  place  will  be 
three  times  5;  that  seed  which  falls  at  Fifteen, 
the  seed  O,  the  womb  of  law,  the  Alpha  and  Omega. 
"And  I  if  I  be  lifted  up  from  the  earth  will  draw 
all  men  unto  me." 

The  natural  magnetic  law  in  all  the  earth  will 
have  to  do  only  with  masculine  elements,  rejecting 
the  gold.  This  law  may  see  the  square,  which  is 
Canaan,  milk  and  honeyed  for  a  world,  but  it  can- 
not enter  the  Fourth  dimension,  which  is  given 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  217 

only  by  the  Law  to  be  the  property  right  of  equal 
opposites.  Two  who  have  journeyed  from  Egypt 
enter  this  land.  Here  the  head  of  leadership  is 
cut  off.  This  land  belongs  to  the  triune  God  of 
Holy  Trinity.  The  magnetic  law  may  usurp  the 
Third  principle ;  it  cannot  usurp  the  Fifth ;  it  can- 
not form  the  square,  or  reveal  the  fourth  dimen- 
sion, anywhere  in  nature.  The  Fourth  is  a  land 
promised  the  magnetic  one,  but  he,  as  leader  of 
original  Hebrew  forces,  cannot  enter  that  land, 
born  of  the  son  of  the  woman.  The  magnetic  cen- 
ter is  broken  as  the  square  is  formed. 

The  one  which  is  Twelve  is  established  by  the 
breaking  of  the  triune  bread  in  equal  opposite  di- 
rections. At  Twelve  we  have  the  square  temple  of 
life  and  a  central  One  teaching  in  that  temple, 
which  one  is  the  regeneration.  At  Twelve  we  have 
the  square  deific  in  which  the  voice  of  the  one  Law 
must  and  will  teach,  whether  that  square  temple  be 
the  ballot  box  of  nations  or  the  squared  under- 
standing of  the  globular  brain  of  humanity.  At 
Twelve  the  regenerative  child  will  be  about  "my 
father's  business"  in  the  Temple  lifting  pearls 
from  the  sea  to  the  creative  eye  of  man,  by  his  own 
holy  see.  In  the  square  deific  we  lose  the  woman, 
because  here  is  a  figure  which  is  neither  male  nor 
female,  but  the  whole  being  of  the  Law,  adorned  as 
a  bride  for  descent  upon  man.  The  square  is  the 
Tabernacle  of  God.  "And  the  tabernacle  of  God 
is  with  men."  "He  that  overcometh"  shall  inherit 
entrance  to  this  square  city,  and  the  promise  is  to 


218  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

nations  and  to  men.  "On  the  east  three  gates ;  on 
the  north  three  gates;  on  the  south  three  gates; 
and  on  the  west  three  gates."  .  .  .  "And  he  that 
talked  with  me  had  a  golden  reed  to  measure  the 
city.  .  And  the  city  lieth  four  square.  .  .  .  And 
he  measured  the  wall  thereof,  an  hundred  and  forty 
and  four  cubits,  according  to  the  measure  of  a 
man,  that  is  of  the  angel.  .  And  the  Lord  God  Al- 
mighty, and  the  Lamb  are  the  temple  of  it.  .  And 
they  shall  bring  the  glory  and  honor  of  the  nations 
into  it." 

In  the  Temple,  at  Twelve,  the  child  Jesus,  the 
regeneration,  begins  teaching  "the  elders."  The 
national  understanding  shall  erect  the  temple  for 
the  Law  at  Twelve  and  here  we  shall  hear  the  voice 
of  wisdom.  The  free-mason  shall  build  this  tem- 
ple around  every  problem,  knowing  its  law  of  con- 
struction, having  been  taught  in  the  carpenter's 
shop  of  understanding  how  to  build  according  to 
a  universal  plan.  At  this  time  in  this  temple  there 
is  manifest  in  The  Regeneration  an  increase  of 
stature,  and  wisdom,  and  these  words  have  an  ac- 
tual not  a  mystical  meaning.  Here  The  Regener- 
ation "increased  in  wisdom  and  stature,  and  in  fa- 
vor with  God  and  man."  Wherever  the  regenera- 
tion obeys  the  law,  here  at  Twelve,  this  normal  in- 
crease in  wisdom  and  stature  is  a  natural  record. 
This  increase  cannot  be  looked  for  unless  the  re- 
generation has  obeyed  the  Law  and  builded  the 
temple  four  square  with  triune  sides,  wherever  re- 
generation is  named. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  219 

Now  the  Law  comes  to  man  as  a  thief  in  the 
night,  to  take  away  cherished  dual  possessions  of 
brain  and  body,  to  take  away  those  beliefs  which 
ignorance  has  planted,  but  not  to  take  away  the 
divine  record  of  the  book  of  life.  After  the  voice 
is  heard  in  the  temple  teaching  the  elders  at  Twelve 
there  is  believed  to  be  a  record  of  the  absence  of 
the  Regenerative  Jesus  for  eighteen  years.  There 
is  no  such  record  in  Luke,  the  Third  day  and  the 
great  physician.  At  Twelve  that  increase  of  stat- 
ure and  wisdom  is  to  be  recorded  in  man  by  which 
the  Law  and  its  plane  of  expression  is  not  lost  but 
arrives  at  once  at  fulfillment  and  begins  to  be 
about  thirty  years  of  age.  This  absence  of  eigh- 
teen years  is  of  man's  invention  and  ignorance,  not 
Luke's.  Luke  is  that  Third  which  has  with  it  the 
Fourth,  or  John,  and  so  the  woman.  Now  Paul, 
the  one  illumined  at  Damascus,  will  ever  have 
"Luke  with  me."  Luke  has  with  him  the  eternal 
duality  souled  in  the  square. 

To  Luke  the  Law  has  given  the  whole  woman 
vision ;  he  sees  one  on  either  side  giving  and  receiv- 
ing the  strength  of  the  central  one,  he  sees  three 
receiving  the  strength  of  ten,  equal  with  the  Law. 
He  sees  the  increase  on  every  side  and  the  squared 
duality  which  forms  the  center  in  that  increase. 
He  sees  the  value  of  the  triune  body  to  be  Thirty. 

The  value  of  the  Lord's  portion  is  not  01  but. 
10,  and  this  is  the  life  portion  given  to  "my  two 
witnesses"  in  all  the  earth  at  Twelve,  when  the 
square  of  equal  opposites  is  manifest.  In  the 


220  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

square  the  regeneration  is  thirty,  and  forty  years 
in  a  wilderness  have  become  one  square  day  of 
light. 

The  Law  has  been  lost  and  these  facts  come 
slowly  back  to  the  race.  In  the  square,  with  its 
song  of  a  hundred  and  forty  and  four  the  eternal 
two  are  buried  with  the  Law  in  a  divine  and  uni- 
versal sense.  This  burial  is  the  death  of  the  dual 
self  and  the  resurrection  of  the  One  of  the  regen- 
eration. When  the  power  of  the  Law  is  seen  two 
opposite  columns  of  force  are  revealed  with  the 
Law.  Two,  with  the  power  of  three  and  the  form 
four  in  One  square  which  is  Twelve  of  holy  see. 
The  circle  of  Galilee  shall  have  this  square  Twelve 
in  all  the  earth.  In  this  square  the  regeneration 
is  an  holy  triune  one  and  Lo  I  come  quickly. 
When  the  Law  comes  thus  quickly  to  an  increase  of 
stature  in  12,  time  is  no  more.  The  times  and  ab- 
sence of  the  Law  lies  in  the  shadowed  understand- 
ing, for  Lo  in  the  reality  /  am  with  you  always. 
Woman  after  "eighteen"  years  is  approaching 
Life  to  be  healed  and  to  heal.  When  the  woman  is 
healed  the  serpent's  head  is  bruised  by  the  under- 
standing of  the  woman.  Woman  has  "heard  the 
preaching  in  the  synagogue ;"  her  disease  was  not 
a  reality,  but  a  "spirit  of  infirmity"  during  a 
period  of  ignorance, — a  period  during  which  she 
"was  bowed  down,  and  could  in  no  wise  lift  up  her- 
self." Today,  as  in  all  days,  upon  all  planes,  she 
is  healed  by  the  One  Law.  "And  he  called  her  to 
him,  and  said  unto  her,  Thou  are  loosed  from  thine 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  221 

infirmity.  And  he  laid  his  hands  on  her:  and  im- 
mediately she  was  made  straight  and  glorified 
God.  .  .  ."  "And  the  rulers  of  the  synagogue 
answered  with  indignation"  while  the  regeneration 
declares,  "Thou  hypocrite  .  .  .  ought  not  this 
woman  being  a  daughter  of  Abraham,  whom  Satan 
hath  bound,  lo  these  eighteen  years,  be  loosed  from 
this  bond  on  the  Sabbath  day?  And  all  his  adver- 
saries were  ashamed." 

The  world  must  lie  in  ignorance  until  it  can 
make  this  "increase  in  stature  and  wisdom,"  which 
fails  in  the  square  Twelve  its  own  revelation,  to 
declare  I  come  quickly.  Until  this  record  is  made 
in  Luke,  where  it  is  written,  its  reality  cannot  be 
declared.  If  we  will  write  and  read  the  record  in 
Luke  the  woman  will  not  be  again  obscured  and 
the  18  ages  of  ignorance  of  the  Law  will  disappear. 
Now  nature  in  holy  trinity  of  expression  will  form 
the  square  by  writing  one  Four  times  around.  Its 
square  will  be  one  which  is  an  I,  or  a  one  which  is 
a  Ninth  principle,  an  I  formed  of  an  H,  rending 
a  veil,  or  V,  which  defines  the  one  above  as  Nine, 
or  I.  The  original  square  will  be  the  original 
fundamental  word  of  creation  IHVH,  this  square 
will  yield  as  its  English  sum  HO2,  and  in  under- 
standing will  lift  up  a  Fifth  principle  from  the 
midst,  and  here  the  regeneration  may  write  for  the 
thoughtful  an  increase  in  stature  and  wisdom, 
born  of  the  Word.  "The  lost  word"  of  life  lies 
in  the  center  of  the  square.  The  lost  word  all 
nations  have  lost,  when  Law  comes  to  restore.  The 


222  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

freedom  which  we  seek  is  freedom  to  worship  God 
by  natural  interpretation  of  the  word.  The  free- 
dom for  which  America  is  planted  is  freedom  of 
interpretation  that  we  may  be  the  one  whole  body 
of  Law,  sown  for  all  the  world.  The  first  word 
of  national  liberty  shall  be  last,  and  a  world  lies 
between  to  define  the  differences  between  first  and 
last. 

"Me"  is  personal.  I  is  the  universal  one,  I  am. 
During  the  reign  of  personality  we  follow  the 
"me"  which  imprisons  the  woman  for  18  years  and 
declares  the  Law  in  Egypt.  At  18  woman  is  nor- 
mally free  to  inherit  the  possessions  which  are 
handed  down.  Today  she  is  normally  free  in  the 
world  which  is  one  in  all  ages.  She  has  finished 
service  under  the  AH  law.  Her  sighing  must  be- 
come song.  The  old  Testament  is  ended.  She 
has  finished  the  18  in  the  Law.  Because  she  is 
free  America  is  now  free.  When  woman  is  18, 
man  is  21.  At  18  the  woman  is  free  by  nature, 
and  when  the  woman  is  free  the  Law  is  free  to 
manifest  the  regeneration  through  the  Son.  When 
we  have  the  figure  AH  we  have  the  numeral  18 
opposite  AH  as  the  sign  of  a  law  covering  a  period 
of  absence  of  the  one  law  which  is  the  Messias  of 
nature,  and  the  presence  of  the  force  as  a  dominant 
leader  which  is  the  Messiah.  While  beginnings 
are  expanding  the  physical  self  we  have  the  Mes- 
sias lost  under  the  AH  Law,  during  which  period 
the  woman  is  separated  from  the  law  in  the  minds 
of  men  and  in  the  affairs  of  life.  Woman/too^ 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  223 

will  here  fall  under  the  law  of  the  woman  or  the 
Ether  being,  opposite  magnetic  force  in  nature. 

When  the  personal  expansion  is  finished,  and 
the  involution  has  been  sent  forth,  we  arrive  within 
the  temple  at  12  to  hear  and  be  the  Law,  and  re- 
ceive that  increase  of  stature  and  wisdom  in  good 
measure  pressed  down  and  running  over  which 
writes  AH,  the  sign  of  the  world,  as  Ha,  the 
laughter  of  the  Law  which  wipes  all  tears  away 
in  the  square  Jerusalem.  In  this  increase  18  be- 
comes 81  and  the  difference  is  Nine.  It  is  here 
that  Sarah  laughed,  for  she  had  conceived  a  child 
of  the  Law  which  gave  a  vision  of  that  New 
Testament  name  Sara,  which  dropped  the  H  to 
write  the  first  last.  The  regeneration  comes  to 
cut  out  time.  When  man  can  see  the  18  law  which 
sets  the  woman  free  he  may  be  81  years  of  age  and 
at  81  forever  in  his  Ninth  years  in  the  Law,  the 
child  of  heaven. 

Tradition  tells  us  to  look  for  an  incarnation  of 
the  Christ  after  18  hundred  years.  At  the  close 
of  a  cycle  the  law  arises  'Tis  now  the  third  day. 
Time  is  today  at  the  record  of  Luke.  Today  man 
in  the  Acts  may  overtake  "the  third  heaven"  and 
be  recorded  as  One  "who  caught  up  to  the  Third 
Heaven,"  seeing  unspeakable  things,  from  a  clus- 
tered group  of  facts,  revealed  by  a  wine  of  life, 
drunk  in  that  upper  chamber  of  man's  being  which 
is  his  virgin  brain,  where  law  and  life  is  conceived 
again. 

In  this  era  personal  supremacy  has  no  author- 


-      H 

224  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

ity.  The  I  which  is  "Me"  has  no  power  given 
unto  it,  save  the  power  of  turning  to  the  Law,  to 
declare  One  King  forever  more.  Today  is  the 
Sabbath  of  an  era.  America  has  spelled  the  per- 
sonal 18,  to  write  the  last  first  in  that  order  of 
Melchisedec  which  knows  no  descent,  and  in  which 
the  sower  and  the  reaper  are  one.  In  this  order 
the  personal  18  becomes  81,  and  America  is  Nine, 
the  eternal  I,  manifest  in  the  flesh.  A  Priest  for- 
ever after  the  order  of  Melchisedec. 

Turning  again  to  the  Apocryphia  we  have  an 
illuminative  record  of  the  inner  life  of  this  word 
18.  Placing  the  triune  figure  3  before  18  we  have 
that  318  (the  sum  of  which  is  12),  which  is  mys- 
tically related  to  the  circumcision  by  Abraham. 

For  the  Scripture  says  that  Abraham,  who  was 
the  first  who  brought  in  circumcision,  looking  for- 
ward in  the  spirit  to  Jesus,  circumcised,  having 
received  the  mystery  of  the  three  letters.  For  the 
Scripture  says  that  Abraham  circumcised  three 
hundred  and  eighteen  men  of  his  house.  But  what 
therefore  was  the  mystery  that  was  made  known 
unto  him?  Mark,  first  the  eighteen,  and  next  the 
three  hundred.  For  the  numeral  letters  of  ten 
and  eight  are  IH.  And  these  denote  Jesus. 

And  because  the  cross  was  that  by  which  we 
were  to  find  grace,  therefore  he  adds,  three  hun- 
dred; the  note  of  which  is  T  (the  figure  of  his 
cross).  Wherefore  by  two  letters  he  signified 
Jesus,  and  by  the  third  his  cross.  He  who  has 
put  the  engrafted  gift  of  his  doctrine  within  us, 


1 1 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  225 

knows  that  I  never  taught  to  anyone  a  more  cer- 
tain truth;  but  I  trust  that  ye  are  worthy  of  it." 
We  find  this  sacred  message  in  the  eighth  chapter 
of  Barnabas.  In  the  Ninth  we  have,  "Wherefore 
he  hath  circumcised  our  ears  and  our  hearts,  that 
we  might  know  these  things."  Turning  to  the 
13th  of  this  same  revelation,  we  have,  at  the  ninth 
and  tenth  places  "concerning  the  sabbath;" 
".  .  .  .your  new  moons  and  your  sabbath  I 
cannot  bear  them.  .  .  .the  sabbaths  which  ye 
now  keep  are  not  acceptable  unto  me,  but  those 
which  I  have  made;  when  resting  from  all  things 
I  shall  begin  the  eighth  day,  that  is,  the  beginning 
of  the  other  world.  For  which  cause  we  observe  the 
eighth  day  with  gladness,  m  which  Jesus  rose 
from  the  dead;  and  having  manifested  himself  to 
his  disciples,  ascended  unto  heaven." 

Involution  is  the  process  of  subtracting  the 
greater  from  the  less.  When  revolution  begins 
an  evolution  begins  to  yield  up  its  larger  self,  its 
involution.  Revolution  falls  at  the  limit  of  the 
measure  of  expansion,  under  the  law  H.  This 
figure  H  is  handed  up  from  Hell  and  down  from 
Heaven. 

Every  H  is  also  m  its  revolution  I.  Revolve 
your  H,  toward  right  or  left,  and  you  are  given  its 
involved  figure  I ;  thus  nature  subtracts  Nine  from 
eight  or  I  from  H.  Now  the  Old  Testament  of 
life  will  subtract  this  one  from  the  left  side,  and 
write  the  birth  of  one  from  one  as  AH.  The  new 
testament  will  see  the  whole  law  and  take  one  from 


226  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  side  of  ascension,  conceiving  with  the  whole 
spirit  of  the  law  to  write  HA. 

Revolution  of  the  H  shall  be  fall  or  ascension. 
It  shall  be  18  or  81 — Me  the  personal  I,  or  Christ, 
the  square,  "I  am  that  I  am."  If  we  have  seen  the 
Law  we  have  seen  the  circumcision  of  the  318  in 
the  house  of  Abraham,  and  understand  in  the  "ear" 
and  "heart."  "Mark  first  the  18,"  for  18  must  be 
seen  as  One  and  Eight,  the  figure  of  the  whole 
Law  "For  the  numeral  letters  of  Ten  and  Eight 
are  IH."  "And  these  denote  Jesus."  And  Jesus 
denotes  the  regeneration.  "For  which  cause  we 
observe  the  eighth  day  with  gladness.  .  .  ." 
"And  it  shall  be  that  as  soon  as  the  week  shall  be 
completed,  the  temple  of  the  Lord  shall  be 
gloriously  built  in  the  name  of  the  Lord."  (Bar- 
nabas 14,  16)  "Give  a  portion  to  Seven  also  to 
Eight"  in  casting  ihy  bread  upon  the  creative 
waters. 

Your  Eight  shall  not  be  unrelated  to  H.  Your 
I  shall  be  the  one  with  the  strength  of  ten,  because 
it  is  Nine,  subtracted  from  eight.  H  is  the  whole 
creative  numeral.  Eight  is  the  number  of  God; 
a  word  compassing  all  the  creative  forces  of  life, 
reaching  from  H.  to  H,  or  from  C  to  C  in  the 
creative  See.  The  scale  of  life  reaches  from 

C C  to  enthrone  its  fifth  principle  G  as 

the  place  of  ascension  to  new  plane  of  expression ; 
and  here  lies  a  great  and  a  grave  principle  of  the 
eternal  H  which  lies  above  and  below. 

This  Eighth  principle  of  English  alphabet  is 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  word  of  the  whole  body  of  truth.  It  is  the 
triune  numeral  of  regeneration.  It  is  IH.  The 
Hebrew  has  first  recorded  the  sign  of  the  Christ 
and  the  triune  law  of  his  name  IHVH.  When  the 
dual  forces  of  creation  have  pronounced  this  word 
they  are  no  more  dual  but  triune  and  whole.  The 
Hebrew  cannot  pronounce  this  word  and  live;  he 
has  become  Christian  by  pronouncing  it. 

H  is  ever  the  original  creative  symbol.  The 
ancients  wrote  the  circle  and  in  the  circle  placed 
the  letter  H,  crossed  H  with  the  numeral  letter  I, 
and  called  the  whole  figure  (Two  H  and  O)  the 
sign  of  creative  proportion,  and  the  word  of  Holy 
Trinity  in  the  creative  holy  see. 

At  this  crisis  in  the  life  of  the  ascending  Law 
America, — with  the  instinct  of  the  woman  unde- 
fined yet  resting  firmly  upon  the  rock  of  natural 
law, — has  given  her  word  from  the  head  that  this 
nation  shall  not  drop  the  G  or  the  H  of  the  as- 
cending one  but  will  push  throuGH  to  victory 
from  the  third  to  the  fifth  to  the  Nine.  We  have 
yet  no  key  to  the  Scriptures  which  "tell  of  me," 
but  a  shadow  of  the  morning  has  given  a  promise  of 
a  coming  event  which  shall  give  to  all  nations  a 
Key  to  the  Scriptures  which  are  written  by  the  in- 
stincts of  civilization.  With  this  key  we  will 
search  the  scriptures  of  the  literature  of  Art. 

A  tendency  lies  in  all  ignorance  to  drop  the 
H;  America  has  given  the  promise  that  the  silent 
H  shall  declare  its  I.  Given  the  promise  that 
America  it  not  Thru. 


228  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Always  the  drama  of  "rotten  Denmark"  will  be 
an  H  drama  lying  between  two,  and  of  two  one 
shall  live  to  declare  "I  am  dead,  Thou  livest" 
"And  a  man's  life's  no  more  than  to  say  one." 
Always  will  this  drama  write  the  ascension  of  the 
seed  O.  Always  will  one  (as  three)  in  this  drama 
make  the  journey  to  England.  Always  in  the  final 
dual  look  for  your  Hamlet  and  your  Laertes  to, 
in  the  third  round  of  the  dual,  change  swords. 


CHAPTER  VIII 
THE  SILENT  H  IN   ASCENSION 

"And  when  the  people  were  gathered  thick  to- 
gether, he  began  to  say,  This  is  an  evil  generation: 
they  seek  a  sign;  and  there  shall  no  sign  be  given  it, 
but  the  sign  of  Jonas  the  prophet  .  .  .  The  men  of 
Nineve  shall  rise  up  in  the  judgment  with  this  gen- 
eration, and  shall  condemn  it:  for  they  repented  at 
the  preaching  of  Jonas,  and,  behold,  a  greater  than 
Jonas  is  here.  .  .  .  Take  heed  therefore  that  the 
light  which  is  in  thee  be  not  darkness.  .  .  And  as 
he  spake  a  certain  Pharisee  besought  him  to  dine  with 
him:  and  he  went  in  and  sat  down  to  meat.  And 
when  the  Pharisee  saw  it,  he  marvelled  that  he  had 
not  first  washed  before  dinner.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  him,  Now  do  ye  Pharisees  make  clean  the  out- 
side of  the  platter;  but  your  inward  part  is  full  of 
ravening  and  wickedness.  Ye  fools,  did  not  he  that 
made  that  which  is  without  make  that  which  is  within 
also?  ...  ye  lade  men  with  burdens  grievous  to  be 
borne,  and  ye  yourselves  touch  not  the  burdens  with 
one  of  your  fingers.  .  .  .  From  the  blood  of  Abel 
unto  the  blood  of  Zacharias,  which  perished  between 
the  altar  and  the  temple  verily  I  say  unto  you,  It 
shall  be  required  of  this  generation." — Luke  II. 

The  words  of  this  Bible  rise  with  the  Law.  The 
inaccuracies  which  the  Higher  Criticism  have 
brought  to  the  attention  of  the  world  are  as 
inaccurate  as  man's  understanding  and  of  as  little 
value  as  the  word  of  one  would  be  who  would  have 
us  doubt  the  basic  value  of  the  multiplication  table 
because  in  one  place  it  declared  Four  times  four  to 
229 


230  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

be  sixteen  and  in  another  place  eight  times  two  to 
be  sixteen  and  in  still  another  place  affirms  twice 
eight  to  be  sixteen.  The  book  is  written  by  the 
creative  law;  it  is  a  dual  book,  illumining  the 
law  by  the  word  Messiah  and  Messias.  It  is  a 
book  about  the  law  of  the  first  and  the  last  places 
of  the  Seven  Rod  which  is  the  measure  of  nature 
upon  the  planet  earth. 

The  reign  of  the  Messiah  of  nature  compasses 
the  Law  from  A  to  H.  "And  after  threescore 
and  two  weeks  shall  Messiah  be  cut  off."  (Daniel 
9,  26).  This  is  eternal  Law.  After  the  reign  of 
the  Messiah  comes  the  reign  of  the  Messias. 

The  Ah  terminals  of  Old  Testament  history  are 
not  found  in  the  New.  The  end  has  taken  unto 
itself  the  ascension.  During  the  reign  of  the 
Messiah  the  woman  is  an  involution:  during  the 
reign  of  the  Messias  she  is  a  positive  son  and 
brother  of  life,  a  servant  of  the  Most  High. 
"Who  is  my  mother?  And  who  are  my  brethen? 
And  he  stretched  forth  his  hand  toward  his  dis- 
ciples and  said,  Behold  my  mother  and  my  brethen. 
And  whosoever  shall  do  the  will  of  my  Father 
which  is  in  heaven,  the  same  is  my  brother,  and 
sister  and  mother."  Womanhood  approaches  the 
ballot  box  of  law  today  claiming  her  discipleship 
as  it  is  written. 

Nowhere  is  the  H  of  law  dropped,  until  we  stand 
square  upon  Mount  Sion,  and  there  see  one  as- 
cended from  below,  and  one  descended  from  above, 
and  the  new  heaven  and  earth  of  the  midst 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  231 

established.  Here  the  H  is  dropped,  for  first  and 
last  is  one  which  is  i  AM.  Here  the  Hallelujah  of 
the  first  covenant  has  become  the  Alleluia  of  the 
one  square  song  of  an  hundred  and  forty  and  four 
thousand,  declaring  all  have  seen  the  Law, 
preached  to  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth.  Here 
the  "elders"  are  redeemed,  and  the  voice  of  much 
people  cries  "Alleluia;  salvation,  and  glory,  and 
honor,  and  power,  unto  the  Lord  our  God." 

Let  us  be  glad  and  rejoice,  and  give  honor  to 
him;  for  the  marriage  of  the  Lamb  is  come,  and 
his  wife  has  made  herself  ready.  "And  he  said 
unto  me,  Write,  Blessed  are  they  which  are  called 
unto  the  marriage  of  the  Lamb." 


Now  we  will  not  see  this  passage  of  the  law  from 
Ah  to  Ha  (from  Elijah  in  an  ascension  of  fire  to 
Elisha)  unless  we  enter  the  great  David,  see  Uriah, 
place  him  at  the  fore  front  of  the  battle  this  day, 
to  be  killed,  that  we  may  wed  his  equal  involution, 
his  lawful  wife,  she  who  is  destined  to  become 
mother  of  Solomon ;  she  who  is  Beth-she-ba. 

H  is  that  opal  of  law  which  is  the  "lucky  stone" 
of  life  if  worn  in  the  Tenth  month,  but  which  all 
other  nativity  may  fear.  This  thy  natal  stone, 
America,  the  head  of  thy  corner,  and  Thou,  "my 
jewel,"  gathered  up  unto  my  high  place.  "Never- 
theless God  did  not  choose  the  people  for  the  places 
sake,  but  the  place  for  the  peoples  sake." 

As  you  ascend  in  the  scale,  which  is  the  measure 


232  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

of  evolution,  from  one  to  seven,  at  seven  you  lift 
up  the  fundamental  to  close  the  octave.  Your 
seven  represents  the  limit  of  the  ascending  evolu- 
tion, your  eighth  note  is  your  spiritual  manifes- 
tation which  has  ascended  in  your  expansion  from 
one  to  seven.  This  eighth  note  represents  the  in- 
volution of  the  scale.  Struck  above  as  the  last 
which  was  first  it  opens  your  door  to  heaven,  to 
conquer  the  fall. 

Here  at  the  last  note  of  the  octave  we  say  we 
have  lifted  up  the  fundamental.  Have  we?  No. 
The  whole  physical  ascension  has  lifted  up  the 
fundamental.  The  last  note  is  already  there.  The 
science  of  Harmony  recognizes  the  rise  of  the  fun- 
damental and  strikes  the  Eighth  as  the  last  note 
which  was  also  the  first,  but,  which  the  law  of  evo- 
lution and  involution  has  lifted  up  to  the  high 
place.  So  today  we  cannot  talk  to  man  about  lift- 
ing the  fundamental  mother  note  in  the  scale  of 
representative  government.  Law  has  lifted  up  that 
note  with  the  physical  evolution  of  the  nation. 
We  ask  man  to  recognize  that  which  life  has  done 
and  cease  denial  of  the  ascended  one  born  in  and 
with  the  fundamental  word  of  ascension. 

Womanhood  is  called  upon  today,  by  the  opposi- 
tion of  man,  to  expend  her  regenerative  strength, 
given  for  the  regeneration  of  the  Republic,  in 
proving  the  fact  that  she  is  in  the  ascended  body 
of  representation.  Representation  must  now  rep- 
resent the  fall  or  the  ascension.  Woman's 
strength  belongs  to  the  Republic  in  its  hour  of 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  233 

need.  The  denial  of  the  body  of  her  law  its  place 
of  representation  in  the  ballot  box  compels  her  to 
fight  for  her  place  in  regenerative  soil,  when  she 
should  be  about  her  Father's  business  of  rebuilding 
and  establishing  that  which  was  ordained.  Her  en- 
franchisement in  America  may  now  be  instant  and 
without  delay  from  the  central  head,  confirmed 
north,  south,  east  and  west  by  the  law  of  the  cross. 
Law  has  enfranchised  her.  The  ascension  of  the 
fundamental  principle  of  representation  has  en- 
franchised her.  'Tis  done.  Men,  "the  elders"  of 
nature,  shall  cease  their  accusations  against  the 
ascension  of  the  Lord  of  Hosts  enter  the  confes- 
sional, which  is  prepared,  and  pardon  the  sins  of 
the  sinner.  When  America  ascends  with  the  Law, 
the  Law  has  ascended  withi/n  her  body.  The  business 
of  Life  is  recognition  of  this  resurrection.  The 
day  has  dawned  in  the  history  of  the  world  when 
representative  government  shall  represent  the  One 
square  Triune  Law  which  we  have  crucified.  It 
is  time  that  the  Father's  business  should  be  known 
to  be  the  use  of  the  carpenter's  L. 

The  strength  of  womanhood  is  today  misdirected 
by  the  will  and  command  of  men,  who,  controlling 
and  holding  from  the  law  her  ballot,  forces  her 
into  a  combat  for  the  ascension  of  the  Law  of  his 
salvation.  There  is  intelligence  enough  in  America 
to  call  off  the  fight.  America  is  called  up  today 
tothe  help  of  life,  for  the  seed  which  is  the  son  of 
the  woman  is  to  arise,  redeeming  a  world  from  war. 
Nature  is  to  be  enthroned  where  she  has  been  re- 


234  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

jected  and  her  Law  is  to  be  known;  her  stone  is  to 
be  given  again  unto  the  builders. 

This  stone  is  formed  by  dual  opposites,  to  en- 
throne the  one  square  body  of  natural  law.  The 
Christ  is  to  be  formed,  a  man-child,  to  again  rise 
from  out  the  domain  of  natural  law.  In  this  com- 
ing the  past  is  to  be  justified.  The  resurrection  of 
the  third  principle  of  law  is  to  be  seen  in  the 
eighth.  We  shall  see  and  understand  the  resurrec- 
tion of  the  third  day  by  the  resurrection  in  the 
eighth.  If  we  have  kept  the  Sabbath  day  fast  we 
know  the  stone  with  Seven  eyes.  We  see  that  as 
all  nature  is.  dual,  its  law  is  also  dual.  We  have 
served  seven  years  with  LEAH  for  Rachel ;  Joseph 
and  Benjamin  are  conceived;  we  have  arrived  at 
the  eighth  book  of  law  which  is  Ruth;  we  have 
wedded  Boaz,  for  we  have  lain  at  his  feet.  The 
whole  book  of  life  is  now  gathered  together  in  one 
place  bringing  its  Pentecostal  outflowing  upon  the 
head.  We  read  its  tongues  from  cover  to  cover 
by  one  voice,  in  one  place,  in  one  time,  in  one  day. 

The  resurrection  of  the  third  day  ever  com- 
mands, "Touch  me  not ;  I  have  not  yet  ascended." 
We  have  noted  the  dual  resurrection  falling  at 
three  and  eight  and  "we  observe  the  eighth  day 
with  gladness."  The  resurrection  of  "the  third 
day"  we  see  has  subtracted  three  from  two  and  the 
result  is  One.  The  resurrection  of  the  eighth  day 
we  see  has  subtracted  Nine  from  Eight  to  arrive 
at  one  above  which  is  10.  We  note  the  order  of 
Melchisedec  is  the  reverse  of  the  order  of  Aaron. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  235 

We  note  the  dual  order  and  the  dual  law  in  the  tri- 
une body.  We  note  the  dual  resurrection.  "Bles- 
sed and  holy  is  he  that  hath  part  in  the  first  res- 
urrection .  .  .  And  I  saw  a  new  heaven  and  a 
new  earth."  Therefore,  nations  and  men  now  "ob- 
serve the  eighth  day  with  gladness,"  having  inher- 
ited the  blessing  of  "the  first  resurrection." 

The  Fourth  gospel  brings  us  to  the  second  res- 
urrection of  Acts,  lifting  the  5th  from  the  4th. 
"I  have  dreamed  that  we  are  not  to  be  changed  so 
much,  nor  the  law  of  us  changed  .  .  I  have 
dreamed  that  the  law  we  are  under  now  is  enough," 

Wherever  the  law  of  the  second  resurrection  is 
unknown,  the  law  of  the  first  is  unknown.  The 
law  of  the  first  and  the  second  is  the  whole  triune 
One.  In  attempting  to  see  the  first  law  as  the 
first  we  conceive  sin.  In  the  second  advent  of  un- 
derstanding we,  seeing  the  midst  from  the  square, 
see  neither  good  nor  evil;  we  see  law  and  a  law 
ascending. 

In  the  first  covenant  which  we  instinctively 
make  with  life,  we  see  only  sin  and  wickedness  in 
self  and  in  the  world.  In  the  second  we  have 
opened  the  book  of  life  at  its  Psalms  to  obey  the 
command  of  Life  to  the  great  David  "SELAH." 
In  the  second  we  have  seen  and  read  and  heard  the 
Psalmist:  "Break  thou  the  arm  of  the  wicked  and 
the  evil  man ;  seek  out  his  wickedness  till  thou  find 
none." 

In  the  second  covenant  we  see  a  Law  taking 
away  the  sins  of  a  world,  as  it  is  written.  By  faith 


236  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

in  the  One  high  over  all  America  was  founded.  By 
that  founding  the  children  of  the  Most  High  are 
bound  to  do  the  whole  round  of  the  Faith  which 
was  rooted  in  the  instinct  of  reason.  Faith  does 
not  define  itself.  Faith  is  a  seed, — a  seed  handed 
down  to  man  at  all  stages  of  evolution  in  his  jour- 
ney from  nature's  heaven  back  to  that  heaven. 
This  seed  he  brings  with  him,  for  quickening  in  the 
soil  of  understanding. 

Today  is  the  quickening  day  of  the  seed,  which 
is  not  quickened,  except  it  die.  Today  faith  adds 
to  itself  the  understanding  which  was  in  its  instinct 
of  preservation.  Now  understanding,  in  the  quick- 
ening of  the  seed,  is  wedded  to  the  woman,  and,  as 
Joseph,  the  understanding,  weds  the  woman,  in 
whom  the  Christ  is  already  conceived,  a  dove  de- 
scends upon  the  rod  of  his  hand,  and  the  rod 
blossoms.  From  that  blossoming  hour  he  becomes 
the  care-taker  of  the  body  of  the  one  law,  even  to 
Golgotha.  At  first  Joseph  is  poor,  at  last  he  is  a 
rich  man  of  Arimathea  boldly  demanding  of  Pi- 
late the  body  of  Christ.  Joseph  is  ever,  He  "who 
adds.  He  is  "a  fruitful  bough,  even  a  fruitful 
bough  by  a  well ;  whose  branches  run  over  the  wall : 
The  archers  have  sorely  grieved  him,  and  shot  at 
him,  and  hated  him:  But  his  bow  abode  in 
strength,  and  the  arms  of  his  hands  were  made 
strong  by  the  hands  of  the  mighty  God  of  Jacob ; 
(from  thence  is  the  shepard,  the  stone  of  Israel"). 

Now  this  same  Joseph  has  been  sold  by  his  breth- 
ren again  into  the  darkness  of  Egypt; — sold  to 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  237 

feed  Canaan,  and  redeem  his  brethren  in  time  of 
famine  in  all  lands.  This  Joseph  is  a  physical 
fundamental  stone,  rejected,  even  the  stone  of 
Israel. 

Faith  cannot  receive  the  whole  spiritual-physical 
body  of  the  One  law.  Joseph  alone  receives  that 
body  to  become  the  keeper  of  its  Holy  Grail.  From 
Egypt  he  has  added.  Every  step  of  the  ascension 
he  has  traced  from  Egypt :  with  the  woman  he  de- 
scended into  Egypt.  To  him  is  given  the  two  por- 
tions of  the  law,  and  from  his  two  portions  he 
keeps  the  holy  child  forever  in  the  midst.  He  is 
the  spiritual  understanding,  rooted  and  grounded 
in  dual  physical  law,  from  Egypt  to  Golgotha. 
Civilization  has  shot  at  him,  denied  him  his  place 
in  spiritual  life,  and  the  archers  still  hate  him,  the 
church  laughs  at  him,  while  the  state  forbids  his 
bridal  with  the  woman  of  immortality.  But  his 
arms  today  are  again  made  strong  by  the  hands  of 
the  mighty  God  of  Israel,  and  again  he  casts  his 
stone  of  fundamental  physical-spiritual  founda- 
tion, commanding  the  people  to  add  physical  un- 
derstanding to  spiritual  faith,  commanding  the 
people  to  be  Joseph. 

The  Bible  of  Christianity  is  the  book  of  life. 
There  is  no  death  in  it.  It  stands,  a  balanced  rela- 
tion of  opposites,  and  in  it  we  move  with  Joseph 
from  Egypt  and  Canaan  to  add  and  add  and  add 
unto  the  understanding  according  to  his  word  un- 
til the  One  law  is  revealed  in  the  victory  of  life  at 
Golgotha,  the  place  of  a  skull,  where  Man  is  re- 


238  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

deemed.  "And  I  will  take  the  stick  of  Joseph, 
which  is  in  the  hand  of  Ephram,  and  the  tribes 
of  Israel  his  fellows,  and  will  put  them  with  him, 
even  with  the  stick  of  Judah,  and  make  of  them 
one  stick,  neither  shall  they  be  divided  into  two 
kingdoms  any  more.  .  .  .  Moreover  I  will  make  a 
covenant  with  them.  .  I  will  be  their  God  and  they 
shall  be  my  people." 

"Joseph  shall  have  two  portions"  not  to  write 
the  supremacy  of  one  portion  over  the  other.  Su- 
premacy is  the  primitive  ambition  of  the  nation 
which  has  despised  and  rejected  the  stone  of  phy- 
sical law  in  the  regeneration  of  a  world.  Lying 
at  the  root  of  every  national  problem,  over  and 
through  all  today  is  the  idea  of  supremacy.  Na- 
ture has  bestowed  the  dual  blessing  of  the  triune 
One  upon  all  nations  and  upon  all  forms.  She 
has  given  the  fisherman's  ring  and  the  triple 
crown  to  every  man  in  the  name  of  the  One  Law. 
Today  Joseph  is  stoned  to  death  by  the  archers 
who  have  "shot  at  him."  He  arises  with  the  morn- 
ing, again  a  "fruitful  bough,  by  a  well."  To  the 
State  and  national  head  he  defines  his  two  portions 
as  the  son  of  Jacob,  Father  of  Light,  upon  whom 
angels  ascend  and  descend  in  that  place  which  is 
Bethel.  Today  life  is  to  be  considered  a  problem 
of  relation.  Science  is  bringing  again  the  stone 
which  has  been  rejected.  The  will  of  the  world  is 
to  be  the  will  of  the  Law  in  an  understanding  which 
has  journeyed  through  Egypt  to  arrive  at  that 
Fourth  first  dimension  which  is  the  Canaan  of 
eternal  life. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  239 

Today  the  will  of  man  and  nation  may  prepare 
the  new  body  of  life  by  establishing  the  relativities 
of  involved  forces  which  forms  the  Christ  in  you. 
Today  the  national  head  may  be  the  first  State  to 
leave  all  and  follow  him,  commanding  resident 
forces  to  prepare  the  body  of  life  which  is  "mine" 
at  the  ballot  box  that  the  blood  of  the  nation  may 
be  now  the  blood  of  the  regeneration ;  and  the  glory 
be  unto  Him  who  has  loved  us  and  who  died  only 
that  we  may,  today,  live,  in  the  resurrection,  which 
is  the  resurrection  of  the  Triune  One  from  out  the 
pyramid  of  Life. 

By  the  dual  blessing  of  nature,  man's  since  the 
world  was,  the  Nation,  receiving  the  two  portions 
of  Joseph  from  the  light,  may  work  out  its  own 
salvation,  become  the  One  Pope  of  nature,  lifting 
by  command  of  the  Constitution  of  natural  law, 
the  dual  fingers  which  have  blessed  the  world  since 
time  began,  buying  of  itself  absolution  from  sin, 
lifting  up  the  cross,  unveiling  the  sacred  cup, 
declaring  One,  And  a  nation's  life  no  more  than 
to  say,  ONE. 

"  O  race  of  the  future: 
O  women,  O  fathers,  O  you  men  of  passion  and  of 

storm ! 
O  native  power   only;   O  beauty;   O  yourself;   O 

God ;  O  divine  average ! 
O  you  bearded  roughs,  O  bards,  O  all  those  slum- 

berers : 

O  America!  the  dawn  bird's  throat  sounds  shrill! 
Do  you  not  hear  the  cock  crow?" 


CHAPTER  IX 
"CRISPUS  AND  GAIUS" 

"And  the  angel  that  talked  with  me  came  again, 
and  waked  me  as  a  man  that  is  wakened  out  of  his 
sleep.  .  .  .  What  seeth  thou?  ...  A  candlestick  all 
of  gold,  with  a  bowl  upon  the  top  of  it  and  his  seven 
lamps  thereon,  and  seven  pipes  to  the  seven  lamps, 
which  are  upon  the  top  thereof:  And  two  olive  trees 
by  it,  one  upon  the  right  side  of  the  bowl,  and  the 
other  upon  the  left  side  thereof. 

"  What  are  these,  my  Lord  ?" 

"  Knowest  thou  not  what  these  be?  And  I  said, 
No  my  Lord.  And  he  answered  and  spake  unto  me, 
saying,  This  is  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Zerubbabel 
.  .  .  Who  art  thou,  O  great  Mountain?  Zerubbabel 
thou  shalt  become  a  plane:  and  he  shall  bring  forth 
the  headstone  thereof  with  shouting,  crying,  Grace, 
grace  unto  it.  ... 

"And  I  answered  again,  and  said  unto  him,  What 
be  these  two  olive  branches,  which  through  the  two 
golden  pipes  empty  the  golden  oil  out  of  themselves? 

"And  he  answered  me  and  said,  Knowest  thou  not 
what  these  be?  And  I  said,  No,  my  Lord. 

"  Then  said  he,  These  are  the  two  anointed  ones, 
that  stand  by  the  Lord  of  the  whole  earth." 

Nature  has  a  system  of  relations.  Her  order  of 
Aaron  is  not  her  order  of  Melchisedec.  Christian- 
ity must  define  the  One  body  and  redeem  from  the 
darkness  of  Egypt.  It  has  finished  its  Old  Testa- 
ment history.  The  Old  Testament  order  relates 
things  one  to  the  other.  The  New  Testament 
brings  a  new  relation  of  creative  forces  to  law 
within  all  bodies. 

240 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

When  the  will  is  a  generative  will  the  voice  of 
the  people  will  define  that  will  clinging  to  the  Old 
Testament  order.  In  regeneration  the  dual  wit- 
nesses of  Law  stand  each  in  his  own  place,  under 
his  own  law,  by  his  own  standard.  There  comes  a 
time  when  the  even  dual  mountains  are  reared  up 
for  the  battle  of  the  One  body  of  force,  then  Man, 
from  the  house  of  David,  speaks  unto  life,  com- 
manding, "My  Law,  unto  The  Law,  Sit  thou  at 
my  right  hand." 

America  may  now  claim  the  inheritance  given 
her  from  the  beginning.  She  has  builded  her  ex- 
ternal body.  In  that  building  she  has  normally 
exhausted  her  brain.  She  has  spent  her  life  ener- 
gies in  opening  up  a  vast  physical  area.  Her  prob- 
lem today  is  no  longer  generation  but  that  regener- 
ation which  rebuilds  the  brain  to  renew  the  body. 
The  brain  of  all  childhood  exhausts  energy  in 
carrying  the  body  to  the  limit  of  physical  man- 
hood. So,  the  national  brain  has  builded  the  body 
out  of  its  brain  energy.  When  the  brain  has 
brought  the  body  to  the  limit  of  physical  expan- 
sion, the  law  of  expansion  is  reversed,  and  the  in- 
volved forces  become  the  positive  creative  elements ; 
man  here  uses  his  involved  creative  life  to  rebuild 
the  brain  which  has  builded  him.  Thus  the  Law 
enthrones  justice,  establishes  the  regeneration  and 
insures  perpetuity,  fulfilling  the  promise  of  love 
in  a  life  more  abundant. 

"O  Israel,  thou  hast  destroyed  thyself,  but  in 
me  is  thine  help."  "I  will  be  as  the  dew  unto 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Israel:  he  shall  grow  as  a  lily,  and  cast  forth  his 
roots  as  Lebanon.  They  that  dwell  under  his 
shadow  shall  return,  they  shall  revive  as  the  corn 
and  grow  as  the  vine :  the  scent  thereof  shall  be  as 
the  wine  of  Lebanon ;  from  me  is  thy  fruit  formed. 
Who  is  wise  and  he  shall  understand  these  things ; 
prudent,  and  he  shall  know  them ;  for  the  ways  of 
the  Lord  are  right  and  the  just  shall  walk  in  them." 

The  original  faith  is  departing  from  us,  to  be 
reborn  upon  and  out  from  us.  The  nation  was 
founded  upon  faith  in  the  ways  of  the  Law.  Where 
faith  is  self-abnegation  is.  When  faith  is  dead 
self-abnegation  dies.  Faith  brought  forth  a  na- 
tional body  for  the  regeneration.  The  govern- 
ment born  of  faith  must  be  established  in  that  un- 
derstanding which  was  the  instinct  of  that  faith. 
Law  changes  not  itself,  but  its  plane  of  manifesta- 
tion. Again  mountains  are  to  be  cast  into  the  sea 
which  has  become  a  creative  See.  Today  thirty 
pieces  of  silver,  the  price  of  the  body  of  the  Law 
in  all  ages,  are  to  be  restored,  a  third  eye  is  to  be 
born  into  the  holy  see. 

"If  that  which  ye  had  in  the  beginning  shall  re- 
main in  you,  ye  shall  continue  in  the  son  and  in 
the  Father."  .  .  .  "Oh,  continue  thy  loving  kind- 
ness unto  them  that  know  thee ;  and  thy  righteous- 
ness to  the  upright  in  heart." 

Our  forefathers  established  the  generation  only 
that,  at  the  time  spoken,  two  shall  arise  to  estab- 
lish the  "four  chariots"  of  the  "Two  mountains"  of 
One  Law.  To  them  the  generation;  to  us,  with 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  243 

their  might  and  strength,  belongs  that  restoration, 
which  is  the  regeneration.  To  us  a  task  to  match 
that  which  they  conceived.  The  republic  was  born 
to  see  the  king  in  his  beauty,  and  make  a  joyful 
noise  unto  the  Law.  To  them  the  tragedy,  to  us 
the  song!  For  unto  us  the  glorious  Law  shall  be 
"a  place  of  broad  rivers  and  streams,  wherein  shall 
be  no  galley  with  oars." 

The  Republic  is  to  enter  that  third  day  of  its 
creation  which  establishes  the  house  of  God  eternal 
in  the  heavens.  "On  the  third  day  thou  shalt  go  up 
unto  the  house  of  the  Lord."  It  is  this  day  and 
this  house  which  young  America  is  called  upon  to 
build,  by  the  voice  of  the  past. 

"  After  the  rest  is  done  and  gone  we  remain ; 
There  is  no  final  reliance  but  upon  us; 
Democracy  rests  finally  upon  us   (I  my  brethren 

begin  it) 
And  our  vision  sweeps  through  eternity." 

The  founders  of  the  past  were  bound;  we  are 
free.  Their  interpretation  was  of  men;  our  fruit 
is  the  fruit  of  the  "third  year"  of  our  Lord.  They 
must  plant  for  us,  and  eat  themselves,  of  "that 
which  groweth  of  itself."  .  .  .  "And  this  shall  be 
a  sign  unto  thee,  ye  shall  eat  the  first  year  such  as 
groweth  of  itself;  and  the  second  year  that  which 
springeth  up  of  the  same;  but  the  third  year  sow 
ye,  and  reap,  and  plant  vineyards,  and  eat  the 
fruit  thereof." 

We  face  the  time  in  the  years  of  the  Law  when 


244  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  sower  and  the  reaper  are  one.  In  this  year  time 
is  no  more,  the  equal  even  ones  have  arisen,  "the 
neutral  pair"  is  declared,  the  One  day  of  the  One 
Law  is  established.  In  this  "third  day"  the  will 
of  humanity  is  the  will  of  One  and  the  body  of  the 
One  true  Law  is  manifest  unto  men,  by  man  to 
dwell  with  Man. 

The  Twentieth  Century  may  sow  and  reap  and 
plant  the  vineyards  of  its  will.  Man,  may,  this 
day  and  hour,  arise  and  build,  with  all  the  ascend- 
ing forces  of  nature  back  of  his  movements,  mov- 
ing law  and  man  up,  up,  up,  to  righteousness  and 
peace  in  the  power  which  is  born  of  union  in  the 
regenerative  One.  Every  man,  woman,  nation, 
and  power  may  obey  without  opposition,  or  possi- 
bility of  defeat,  the  aspirations  which  are  inherent 
this  hour.  Wedded  to  the  Law  with  a  willingness 
to  establish  the  relations  of  the  square  One  Law, 
we  may  plant  the  vineyard  of  the  third  year. 

America  has  fulfilled  the  Law  of  the  first  year, 
and  of  the  second  "which  springeth  up  of  the 
same."  It  has  grown  by  automatic  instinct,  to 
grow  again,  under  the  guidance  of  an  understand- 
ing which  has  enthroned  the  God  of  our  Fathers, 
in  Life,  in  Law,  and  in  the  Son.  If  their  faith  is 
taken  from  us  by  a  natural  evolution,  that  is  given 
unto  us,  which  is  larger  that  faith,  including  na- 
ture, God,  and  the  Law  which  gave  Faith. 

America  is  still  a  child  ready  to  teach  that  which 
she  does  not  know,  ready  to  destroy  that  which  she 
does  not  understand,  ready  to  govern  where  she 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  245 

is  ungoverned.  Still  looking  toward  men  for  new 
interpretations,  new  religions,  new  bibles  and 
forms,  still  searching  for  leaders,  still  ignoring 
dual  triune  nature,  still  crying  for  generation,  still 
ignorant  of  life's  two  records  of  creation,  still  ex- 
panding the  primitive  appetite  and  its  mode  of 
motion,  still  boasting  as  a  child,  making  mistakes 
and  threats  as  a  child,  ready  to  give  that  which  she 
does  not  possess,  ready  to  barter  the  thirty  pieces 
of  silver,  ready  to  betray  a  divine  heritage. 

"  Bravo  to  all  impulses  sending  sane  children  to  the 

next  age; 

But  damn  that  which  spends  itself,  with  no  thought 
of  the  stain,  pain,  dismay,  it  is  bequeathing." 

America  is  the  physical  Beulah  Land  today 
ready  to  receive  the  Law.  "The  land  Beulah,  the 
Lord  delighteth  in  thee,  thy  land  shall  be  mar- 
ried." America  has  produced  the  fruits  of  the 
physical  brain  and  body.  We  have  vast  invention 
and  physical  achievement  at  our  door.  We  are 
ready  for  the  birth  of  Art.  We  have  discovered 
the  North  to  discover  the  North  opposite  the  South. 
We  are  ready  to  wear  the  Greek  Cross,  whose  word 
is  square,  and  whose  voice  is  the  voice  of  Art. 

We  face  today  the  third  day  of  life,  lying  be- 
tween yesterday  and  tomorrow,  to  be  the  eternal 
creative  neutral,  the  soul  and  only  reality  of  yester- 
day and  tomorrow.  Is  not  this  day  for  the  Law? 
Does  man  not  dictate  when  the  regeneration  shall 
appear?  Is  not  the  third  day  today  if  man  will 


246  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

see  and  hear  and  prepare  the  relativities  which  re- 
veal the  Law.  "Today,  if  ye  will  hear  my  voice?" 
Is  not  this  day  the  day  of  the  triune  One?  Is  not 
the  one  of  the  midst  eternally  the  place  and  portion 
of  the  Law?  Is  not  today  "my  day"?  Do  we  not 
hear  "my  voice"  today?  Is  not  this  the  resurrec- 
tion day? 

"  I  know  that  the  past  was  great  and  the  future  will 

be  great, 
And   I  know  that  both   curiously  conjoint  in  the 

present  time; 
And  that  where  I  am  or  you  are  this  present  day, 

there  is  the  center  of  all  days;  all  races; 
And  there  is  the  meaning  to  us  all,  of  all  that  has 
ever  come  of  races  and  days,  or  ever  will  come." 

A  new  national  consciousness  is  horning  of  law, 
a  consciousness  which  shall  replace  that  conscience 
which  is  making  cowards  of  us  all,  a  consciousness 
born  of  that  which  was  born.  Today  is  the  test 
of  brain  and  brawn.  The  republic  was  ordained; 
today  is  shall  be  established.  Today  we,  the  peo- 
ple, do  again  ordain  and  establish  this  Constitution 
of  the  United  States  of  America  by  an  ordinance 
which  was  involved  in  the  beginning. 

This  is  the  hour  of  second  covenant  when  the 
Son  establishes  that  which  the  father  ordains.  In 
a  natural  order  of  evolution  the  Constitution  must 
be  again  presented  to  the  people  by  its  involution 
to  be  established  and  again  ordained  in  a  normal 
second  covenant.  The  Law  of  the  second  is  the 
law  by  which  life  and  liberty  and  domestic  tran- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  247 

quility  is  established  through  the  son  of  the  woman. 
Again  the  fundamental  is  to  be  struck  by  the  peo- 
ple and  the  woman  Liberty  arise  from  the  sea.  To- 
day, from  a  rock,  pilgrims  are  to  set  sail  upon  a 
crystal  sea. 

"  Hoist  instantly  the  anchor. 

.  .  .  haul  out  .  .  .  shake  the  sail  .  .  Steer  forth: 
Steer  for  the  deep  water  only.  .  . 
We  are  bound  where  Mariner  has  not  dared  to  go. 

— Whitman. 


CHAPTER  X 
THE  NEW  RELIGION 

"  While  yet  a  virgin  she  shall  bring  forth  the  Son 
of  the  Most  High,  who  shall  be  called  Jesus,  and  ac- 
cording to  the  signification  of  his  name,  be  the  Sa- 
viour of  the  world." — Book  of  Mary,  11,  12. 

"  The  name  of  the  Son  of  God  is  great  and  with- 
out bounds,  and  the  whole  world  is  supported  by  it. 
.  .  .  He  doeth  support  them,  who  with  all  their 
hearts  bear  his  name." — Hermes  IX,  137. 

The  "new  religion"  will  claim  the  support  of 
the  name  of  the  son  of  God.  It  will  take  away  not 
one  belief  of  the  human  race.  It  will  illumine  all 
belief.  The  new  religion  will  take  away  neither  the 
name  nor  the  personality  of  the  Son.  It  will  be- 
stow that  name  upon  humanity.  It  will  place  the 
One  name  under  the  earth,  and  the  whole  world  sup- 
ported by  IT.  The  new  religion  will  have  to  do 
solely  with  that  fourth  dimension  of  life  which  is 
born  of  two  and  two.  It  will  unite  heaven  and 
earth  to  achieve  the  wisdom  and  love  of  the  midst. 
It  will  descend  and  ascend.  It  will  turn  the  wheel 
of  life  toward  its  central  sun  within  to  enthrone  the 
sons  of  God.  The  new  religion  will  write  the 
creeds  of  life  as  the  stones  of  Law,  becoming  chil- 
dren of  Abraham  in  a  new  testament  of  under- 
standing. The  new  religion  will  reveal  the  philos- 
opher's stone  in  the  center  between  opposites.  It 
will  plant  that  stone,  rejected  by  the  civilization  of 
248 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  249 

today,  in  the  civilization  which  has  rejected  and 
defied.  Its  text  book  will  be  the  Bible  of  Christi- 
anity. It  will  search  for  its  authority  among  na- 
ture creeds  and  legends,  enthroning  the  voice  of 
Art.  It  will  reverence  the  immortal  wherever 
found,  recognizing  that  nature's  crown  of  immor- 
tality is  given  to  the  naturally  immortal.  It  will 
see  every  man  by  his  creed  defining  law.  A  man's 
faith  will  be  to  the  new  religion  a  light,  to  be  fol- 
lowed as  the  light  of  law.  The  creed,  as  we  have 
defined  it,  is  the  Baptist  to  be  beheaded,  and  the 
head  given  to  the  woman,  that  he  may  live  in 
Christ. 

The  creed  states  the  truth  by  the  word,  and  the 
word  is  under  a  law  which  Law  is  its  triune  inter- 
preter. Beheading  the  Baptist  of  all  evolution 
the  new  religion  will  give  birth  to  this  same  John 
"according  to  the  signification  of  his  name,"  in 
Luke.  It  will  see  the  square  gospel,  understand  its 
third  day,  to  be  Luke,  the  great  physician  of  life. 
Luke  shall  live  in  the  new  religion  as  a  personal- 
ity, manifesting  John  the  fourth  dimension. 
Wherever  we  have  the  Law  of  the  Baptist  en- 
throned we  have  no  spiritual  miracles,  but  we  have 
the  physical  statement  of  an  eternal  fact.  Creeds 
are  whole,  but  under  Zaw.  The  creed  is  itself  the 
forerunner  of  its  own  revelation.  The  new  religion 
will  not  destroy  these  forms  which  have  marked 
the  way,  and  which  contain  the  revelation. 
Throughout  nature  John  does  no  miracles,  yet  all 
that  John  spake  was  true.  This  fact  is  a  phase 


250  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

of  the  law  containing  the  heights  and  depths  of 
revelation. 

Now  the  mother  of  the  regeneration  will  visit  the 
mother  of  John  when  the  intelligence  has  grasped 
the  record  of  Luke.  And  Mary  will  salute  that 
mother  in  her  own  house  and  place.  "And  whence 
is  this  to  me,  that  the  mother  of  my  Lord  should 
come  to  me?  And  Mary  abode  with  her  about 
three  months,  and  returned  to  her  own  house. 
Now  Elizabeth's  full  time  came  that  she  should  be 
delivered;  and  she  brought  forth  a  son.  .  .  .  His 
name  is  John.  And  they  marvelled  all." 

John  Baptist  exists  to  guide  our  feet  into  the 
way  of  peace,  and  to  prepare  the  Lord  his  way. 
And  wherever  we  find  John,  we  find  an  omnipotent 
physical  law  to  be  followed  on  to  the  regeneration. 
This  John  will  ever  be  clothed  with  the  skins  of 
wild  animals.  To  know  John  the  Baptist  from 
Jesus  the  regeneration  in  the  creative  intelligence, 
is  to  know  when  to  declare,  "He  must  increase  and 
I  must  decrease."  To  know  these  two  is  to  know 
when  to  rend  the  seven  veils,  covering  the  woman 
in  the  hall  of  Herod,  receiving  the  meat  of  two 
fishes  in  five  loaves  filling  Twelve  baskets;  then 
"blessed  shall  be  thy  basket  and  thy  store."  Here 
wisdom  is  found.  Here  intelligence  is  manifest. 
Here  man  and  nation  becoming  the  Baptist  become 
the  regeneration.  The  mission  of  John  is  to  bap- 
tize the  regeneration  with  his  own  death  unto  life 
within  the  triune  one.  This  John  does,  in  the 
whole  realm  of  the  universe. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  251 

The  new  religion  can  bring  no  denial.  It  will 
bring  a  restoration.  It  will  descend  into  hell  to  re- 
late the  hell  of  creation  forevermore  to  the  ascen- 
sion of  creation.  The  first  motion  of  an  ascending 
principle  is  a  descent  which  shall  write  the  last 
opposite  the  first,  ascended  from  the  first,  restoring 
the  fundamental  in  the  apex,  taking  the  city  A — I. 
The  creed  is  a  stone  in  civilization  left  by  the  de- 
parting Israelites  until  the  hour  when  intelligence 
shall  breathe  upon  the  stones  of  Abraham,  to  build 
upon  the  stone  rejected  the  temple  of  the  living 
God.  Creeds  are  structural  forms.  Every  creed  is 
a  jewel  to  the  student  of  life.  The  day  dawns  when 
we  gather  up  these  jewels. 

John  the  Baptist  will  be  beheaded  in  the  house 
of  Herod,  rending  seven  veils,  to  reveal  the 
woman  through  whom  he  ascends  to  the  body  of 
the  triune  One,  the  One  redeemer  and  Master.  In 
this  one  body  he  is  forever  imprisoned,  after  his 
death  in  the  house  of  Herod,  as  it  is  written.  He 
has  existed  only  to  baptize  the  "one  for  to  come," 
of  whose  existence  he  has  known  from  the  begin- 
ning. To  know  the  law  of  John  Baptist  is  to  dash 
not  thy  foot  against  a  stone.  Human  leadership 
will  deny  the  baptism  which  is  of  John.  It  will  re- 
fuse to  be  beheaded  that  a  multitude  may  be  fed 
by  the  Law.  The  human  leadership  which  is  the 
Baptist  baptizes  the  regeneration  with  its  own 
strength,  with  its  own  life,  to  die  in  the  divine 
body. 

Upon  every  plane  of  manifestation  the  Christ 


252  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

of  the  natural  law  consents  to  be  led  to  a  mountain 
top  by  that  force  which  is  the  devil.  The  business 
of  Thought  is  to  reveal  the  law  of  the  mountain 
top,  where  he,  Satan,  so  like  the  Christ,  is  be- 
headed of  the  power  of  leadership  to  enthrone  a 
reality  which  is  Christ.  John  Baptist  knows  the 
law  of  the  limit  and  dies  at  the  limit.  The  devil 
argues  the  matter  upon  the  mountain  which  repre- 
sents the  limit  of  physical  expansion.  Herein  is 
universal  law,  physical,  spiritual,  omnipresent,  to 
guide  the  feet  of  nations  and  of  men.  At  the 
mountain  top  the  leadership  of  the  one  of  primitive 
nature  ends;  here  Law  takes  "to  thee  thy  great 
power." 

In  the  new  religion  belief  has  become  knowledge. 
Man  no  longer  asks,  Did  the  personal  Christ,  the 
man  Jesus,  live?  He  knows  that  "he  lives,  who 
was  dead,  and,  behold,  I  am  alive  forevermore,  and 
have  the  keys  of  hell  and  of  death.  And  he  had  in 
his  right  hand  seven  stars."  The  new  religion  will 
bring  the  gift  of  Holy  Ghost,  yielding  up  a  ghost. 
It  will  gather  all  together  in  one  place  and  this 
gathering  is  a  Pentecost  where  all  receive  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  no  man  seeks  to  convert  another,  for 
all  in  one  place  see  the  one  body  in  their  bodies. 
Now  Paul,  the  one  illumined  in  the  eye  on  the  way 
to  Damascus,  will  "tarry  at  Ephesus  till  Pentecost 
come."  No  power  will  take  him  from  this  place. 

Christianity  does  not  exist  to  absorb  all  reli- 
gions, but  to  prepare  the  gathering  of  all  in  one 
place  for  the  descent  of  the  Holy  Ghost  upon  all. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  253 

Christianity  exists  to  cast  the  Net  of  the  law  upon 
the  creative  waters  covering  A.  D.  and  B.  C.  to 
bring  forth  one  the  midst  over  and  in  all.  Chris- 
tianity exists  to  answer,  Where  are  the  Nine? 
Christianity  casts  the  Net  of  the  Triune  One  to  de- 
clare one  with  the  strength  of  the  ten.  In  the 
new  religion  the  Body  of  the  law  in  all  the  earth 
will  be  given  the  triune  parts  and  civilization  in 
all  its  parts  be  compelled  to  lay  down  the  thirty 
pieces.  "If  ye  think  good,  give  me  my  price ;  and 
if  not  forbear.  So  they  weighed  for  my  price 
thirty  pieces  of  silver.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Cast  in  unto  the  potter.  .  .  And  I  took  the  thirty 
pieces  of  silver,  and  cast  them  to  the  potter  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord." 

No  work  can  be  done  in  full  measure  and  wisdom 
of  law  until  the  regeneration  begins  to  be  "about 
thirty  years  old,"  says  Luke.  When  the  three-in- 
one  body  of  life  is  valued  at  thirty,  the  duality  has 
received  the  strength  of  the  midst,  and  this  the 
good  measure  pressed  down  and  running  over 
from  the  law  which  is  a  normal  increase,  in  stature 
and  in  wisdom.  Our  increase  in  stature  and  wis- 
dom must  depend  solely  upon  the  value  given  by 
us  to  the  midst,  the  Lord's  portion,  for  from  this 
portion  we  inherit  our  riches.  Christianity  is  a 
proposition  of  life  to  establish  the  full  measure  of 
the  value  of  the  Lord's  body  upon  all  sides  of  the 
square,  and  to  thus  rear  up  the  120  pillars  of  the 
temple,  building  the  church  which  is  Christ.  "And 
in  those  days  Peter  stood  in  the  midst  of  the  disci- 


254  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

pies,  and  said,  (the  number  of  names  together  were 
about  an  hundred  and  twenty),  Men  and  brethren, 
this  scripture  must  need  be  fulfilled."  .  .  . 

The  value  of  the  Body  of  the  Triune  One  which 
is  at  first  30,  at  last,  in  the  square,  yields  thirty 
four  times  around  and  the  triune  value  of  the  cen- 
tral principle  multiplied  in  each  arm  of  the  square 
yields  that  increase  which  rounds  the  law  in  360 
degrees.  Man's  divine  heritage  is  the  increase  in 
stature  and  wisdom  which  is  given  in  the  temple 
which  is  Twelve.  Until  the  foundation  of  this 
temple  is  builded  by  man  life  is  sustained  by 
thieves  and  robbers  "who  are  before  me."  The 
whole  world  is  supported  by  the  divine  triune  body 
which  faith  has  ordained  shall  be  established  in 
understanding. 

We  have  inaugurated  a  system  of  interpreta- 
tion in  church  and  state  which  has  denied  the 
square  foundation  stone  of  holy  trinity.  A  wrong 
system  is  a  poor,  poverty-stricken  system.  Our  sys- 
tem being  unrelated  to  natural  law  we  are  all 
poor,  denied  the  riches  of  the  One  Law.  We  are 
poor  calling  ourselves  rich,  while  taking  two  to  sus- 
tain a  dominant  one.  Two  in  all  nature  shall  be 
taxed  to  sustain  the  Lord's  portion  and  herein  lies 
riches  untold.  One  of  every  duality,  by  our  sys- 
tem which  is  poor,  spends  his  blood  to  sustain  the 
opposite  arm.  As  a  result  the  brain  of  the  world 
is  unbalanced  and  our  left  hand  impotent. 

Wherever  a  system  of  taxation  is  conceived  out- 
side the  Lord's  body,  the  seed  of  insanity  is  sown 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  255 

in  a  to-fro  motion.  The  nation  is  reaping  the  re- 
sult of  its  system.  The  brain  of  the  race  is  unbal- 
anced as  the  national  system  is  unbalanced.  The 
system  which  is  established  without  is  established 
in  body  and  brain  of  manhood  and  womanhood. 
The  brain  must  now  be  refed  by  the  wine  of  the 
water  of  life.  Under  our  system  of  denial  the  body 
robs  the  brain,  and  Thought,  the  son  of  man,  is 
unborn  in  the  virgin  dimension  of  the  brain.  The 
water  of  life  is  now  to  be  healed  that  it  may  heal. 

The  physical  standard  which  America  has  set 
up  as  its  basis  of  calculation  is  the  fact  that  two 
and  two  equal  four.  In  an  order  of  natural  growth 
it  is  called  upon  to  lift  up  this  basis  as  a  spiritual 
standard.  May  there  not  be  a  consciousness  where 
two  and  two  do  not  equal  four  but  one  which  is 
four?  What  shall  we  say  should  a  missionary  ar- 
rive from  Mars  to  teach  us  the  law  of  the  even  de- 
claring that  two  and  two  equals  Nine,  for  in  Mars, 
says  he,  they  have  a  book  which  declares  the  even 
seed  shall  be  counted  for  a  generation?  Shall  we 
convert  him,  or  admit  that  there  may  be  a  con- 
sciousness of  the  law  of  the  midst  unknown  to  the 
planet  earth, — a  consciousness  of  the  law  of  Gali- 
lee and  the  Christ  which  casts  the  whole  Net  of  the 
even  on  either  side  to  draw  up  out  of  the  creative 
waters  an  hundred  and  fifty  and  three,  a  con- 
sciousness that  eats  of  the  hidden  manna  to  know 
the  Lord?  "Son  of  man,  hast  thou  seen  this?" 

Consciousness,  does  it  define  itself  numerically? 
Is  consciousness  of  that  life  giving  portion  which

is  the  soul  of  the  midst  consciousness  of  the  Logos  ? 
"Then  he  brought  me  and  caused  me  to  return 
by  the  brink  of  the  river  ...  at  the  brink  of  the 
river  were  very  many  trees  on  the  one  side  and  on 
the  other.  .  .  .  The  waters  shall  be  healed.  Every 
thing  that  liveth  which  moveth,  whithersoever  the 
rivers  shall  come,  shall  live,  and  there  shall  be  a 
very  great  multitude  of  fish,  because  these  waters 
shall  come  hither:  for  they  shall  be  healed:  and 
everything  shall  live  whither  the  river  cometh.  .  .  . 
And  by  the  river  upon  the  bank  thereof  on  this 
side  and  on  that  side,  shall  grow  all  trees  for  meat, 
whose  leaf  shall  not  fade,  neither  shall  the  fruit 
thereof  be  consumed :  it  shall  bring  forth  new  fruit 
according  to  his  months,  because  their  waters  they 
issued  out  of  the  sanctuary :  and  the  fruit  thereof 
shall  be  for  meat,  and  the  leaf  thereof  for  medita- 
tion. Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  This  shall  be  the 
border,  whereby  ye  shall  inherit  the  land  accord- 
ing to  the  twelve  tribes  of  Israel:  Joseph  shall 
have  two  portions.  And  ye  shall  inherit  it  one  as 
well  as  another.  .  .  All  the  oblation  shall  be  five 
and  twenty  thousand  by  five  and  twenty  thousand : 
ye  shall  offer  the  holy  oblation  foursquare,  with 
the  possession  of  the  city.  .  .  .  And  the  sanctuary 
of  the  house  shall  be  in  the  midst  thereof.  .  .  It 
was  round  about  eighteen  thousand  measures;  and 
the  name  of  the  city  from  that  day  shall  be,  The 
Lord  is  there." 


CHAPTER  XI. 
RELIGION. 

11  And  after  these  things  I  saw  four  angels  standing 
on  the  four  corners  of  the  earth,  holding  the  four  winds 
of  the  earth,  that  the  winds  should  not  blow  on  the 
earth,  nor  on  the  sea,  nor  on  any  tree." — Revelation. 

"Did  we  not  cast  three  men  bound  into  the  midst  of 
the  fire?  .  .  Lo,  I  see  four  men  loose,  walking  in  the 
midst  of  the  fire,  and  they  have  no  hurt :  and  the  form 
of  the  fourth  is  like  the  Son  of  God." — Daniel. 

"But  the  angel  of  the  Lord  came  down  into  the 
oven.  .  .  And  made  the  midst  of  the  furnace  as  it  had 
been  a  moist  whistling  wind,  so  that  the  fire  touched 
them  not  at  all,  neither  hurt  nor  troubled  them. 
Then  the  three,  as  out  of  one  mouth,  praised,  glori- 
fied, and  blessed,  God  in  the  furnace,  saying.,  Blessed 
art  thou,  O  Lord  God  of  our  fathers:  and  to  be 
praised  and  exalted  above  all  for  ever.  And  blessed 
is  thy  glorious  and  holy  name :  to  be  praised  and  ex- 
alted above  all  for  ever." — Apocrypha,  which  is  "After 
the  Hebrew,  That  which  is  not  in  the  Hebrew." 

Christianity  will  not  fear  to  cast  Three  into  the 
furnace  of  national  generative  fire.  It  is  here  that 
the  Three  lifts  up  one  which  is  Four  to  declare  the 
angel  of  the  regeneration.  Christianity  will  see 
the  reality  of  the  four  corners  of  the  earth.  It 
will  bathe  its  forehead  from  the  dews  of  the  midst 
of  the  fiery  furnace  of  Law.  It  will  create  that 
angel  which  is  the  measure  of  a  man.  To  Christi- 
anity this  Hebrew  book  will  be  no  longer  an  unreal 
record,  but  a  record  of  facts,  physical,  divine,  sub- 
stantial. The  new  Christianity  will  believe  in  the 
257 


258  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Four  kingdoms  of  Daniel,  and  dare  to  be  Daniel; 
it  will  lift  up  One. 

Men  and  nations  shall  know — and  this  command 
covers  all  understanding — whether  the  form  used 
in  an  Hebrew  form  or  an  English  form.  If  the 
form — and  by  the  form  we  mean  the  universal  and 
also  the  individual — used  is  an  Hebrew  form  then, 
that  which  is  within  is  to  be  drawn  up,  out  of  the 
form,  which  is  the  creative  waters.  Here  we  see 
Moses  ever  is  the  law  of  one  drawn  up  out  of  the 
water.  Wherever  in  nature  the  form  is  Hebrew 
that  which  follows  is  an  evolution  out  from  this 
form  arriving  at  the  fourth  dimension.  When 
the  Hebrew  has  arrived  at  the  fourth,  or  square  di- 
mension, it  has  arrived  at  its  English  form.  Evo- 
lution is  a  drawing-out  from  the  first  dimension  to 
the  Fourth.  Evolution  is  the  Hebrew  word  of  Law. 
If  the  word  is  Hebrew  it  is  to  pass  through  that 
furnace  of  fire  which  arrives  at  Four.  When  the 
one  which  is  four  has  arrived  the  Three  exist  in 
the  four.  And  the  four  is  eternally  "the  square  dei- 
fic"  which  is  one.  Now,  this  one  is  again  a  first  di- 
mension under  the  law  and  its  4  corners  are  to  be 
held,  that  the  great  pyramid  may  arise.  Suppose 
your  fundamental  is  not  a  Hebrew  form  but  an 
English  form.  Or  suppose  that  your  first  one  is  the 
square  four-cornered  pyramid  of  the  earth  and 
your  intelligence  is  holding  those  four  corners  in 
the  wheel  which  isanEZEKIEL  wheel  of  life. 
Then  the  process  of  understanding  is  not  a  drawing 
out  from  the  water  (the  creative  word)  but  a  draw- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  259 

ing  into.  Your  whole  law  of  Moses  is  an  evolu- 
tion; your  whole  law  of  Jesus  is  an  involution; 
and  from  the  midst  of  them  arises  the  Lord  and 
his  Christ. 

Your  Hebrew  ascending  form  is  from  base  to 
apex.  Your  English  from  apex  to  the  central 
point  of  base,  sustaining  the  whole  body  as  given. 
The  Hebrew  form  is  a  form  of  first  dimension.  The 
English  is  a  form  of  the  Fourth.  The  Hebrew 
expresses  the  fourth,  the  English  interprets  the 
fifth  principle  of  the  Fourth.  The  Hebrew  alpha- 
bet is  2  2,  the  English  is  2  6.  Each  under  the 
1  H  V  H  Law.  The  Hebrew  we  draw  out.  The 
English  we  draw  in.  The  English  illumines  the 
Hebrew.  The  Hebrew  supports  the  English. 
Ever  and  ever  the  law  of  fourth  and  first  dimen- 
sion of  evolution  and  involution.  The  Hebrew 
Bible  of  nature  begins  with  Two  or  B.  The  Eng- 
lish Bible  of  nature  begins  with  one  which  is  I. 
This  I,  was  born  in  the  midst  of  the  fundamental 
square  which  lifted  up  its  fundamental  principle 
from  the  midst ;  its  E  principle  which,  in  a  straight 
lifting  up  lifts  up  all,  that  all  shall  declare  "I  am." 

The  whole  of  the  New  Testament  of  nature  is 
written  in,  withw,  the  old,  as  the  whole  of  the  re- 
generation is  written  in  that  which  is  generated. 
Without  the  great  square  pyramid  of  life  ever  be- 
fore the  eye,  holding  the  dual  sphinx  Man  in  rela- 
tion to  that  pyramid,  there  is  no  understanding  of 
the  law  of  life,  which  rests  its  base  in  lower  Egypt. 
This  great  pyramid  is  one  of  the  Egyptian  jewels 


260  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

which,  coming  up  out  of  Egypt,  Christianity  may 
borrow  and  return  to  the  Lord  of  Life.  Here 
Christianity  must  go  to  read  the  law  of  holy  trin- 
ity resting  upon  the  solid  earth  of  beginnings. 
This  pyramid  is  carried  in  the  eye  of  understand- 
ing, to  be  builded  into  all  national  existence.  It 
is  the  pyramid  of  the  Son.  The  English  speaking 
race  exists  in  nature  to  obey  the  English  Law  of 
the  Word. 

The  third  principle  is  thrown  ever  into  the  fiery 
furnace  of  original  generative  fire  to  yield  the 
Fourth,  the  angel,  which  is  the  measure  of  a  man. 
When  the  whole  significance  of  this  fact  of  natural 
law  is  seen,  the  heavens  and  the  earth  will,  by  the 
will  of  the  people,  roll  together  as  a  scroll,  and  a 
square  city  which  is  an  ascent  from  man  and  a  de- 
scent upon  man  be  seen  as  the  tabernacle  of  God 
with  men.  In  the  midst  of  the  physical  fiery  fur- 
nace the  dew  of  the  law  is  born  for  the  brow  of  the 
world. 

Christianity  comes  not  as  a  new  religion  but  as 
a  new  system  of  relations  which  is  a  system  of  rec- 
onciliation. It  comes  to  declare  a  gospel  which  is 
foursquare  to  lift  up  One.  Christianity  is  not  a 
new  form  but  a  new  life  within  the  old  form. 
Christianity  leaves  the  father-mother  relation,  or 
the  positive-negative  whirl,  to  follow  only  the  wife 
of  the  one  Law  which  is  the  life  of  regeneration. 
Christianity  is  nowhere  in  nature  a  problem  of  pro- 
ducing another  outer  form:  it  is  solely  a  problem 
of  resurrection  in  the  flesh.  The  One  Triune  Law 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  261 

dead  in  our  understanding,  we  are  dead,  but  we  are 
buried  with  Him.  "Thy  dead  men  shall  live  to- 
gether, with  my  dead  body  shall  they  arise.  Awake 
and  sing,  ye  that  dwell  in  dust ;  for  thy  dew  is  as 
the  dew  of  herbs,  and  the  earth  shall  cast  out  the 
dead." 

Christianity  involves  a  belief  in  the  power  of  the 
One  Law  to  awaken  from  the  dead,  out  of  the 
earthly  bodies  of  nations  and  of  men.  Christi- 
anity is  not  a  question  of  new  form,  but  of  the 
power  of  life  to  resurrect  the  old  form.  Nowhere 
does  Christianity  appear  until  the  reign  of  the 
Messiah  is  ended  and  the  outer  body  builded.  No- 
where is  it  a  question  of  another  body  of  physical 
form,  but  a  question  of  another  relativity  of  force 
within  the  physical  creation  upon  which  the  hope 
of  the  resurrection  of  the  physical  form  rests.  It 
has  to  do,  not  with  generation,  but  with  regenera- 
tion in  that  which  has  been  generated.  Christi- 
anity is  a  belief  in  the  ascending  regenerative 
power  of  the  three-in-one  relativity  of  forces.  It 
is  a  belief  in  the  right  of  two  opposite  and  equal, 
to  form  the  central  life-giving  square  body  of  the 
soul.  It  is  not  a  belief  in  the  rights  of  man  or  the 
rights  of  woman,  but  a  belief  in  that  Supreme  One 
right  of  nature,  the  ascension  of  the  Son  of  God 
through  the  woman.  Christianity  cannot  bring  a 
new  body:  it  brings  the  resurrection  by  which  it 
changes  the  old  body.  Christianity  is  bound  to 
the  law  of  the  four  gospels,  and  in  the  fourth  It  is 
finished  and  the  Acts  begin. 


262  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Christianity  goes  straight  to  the  third  principle 
of  creation  for  its  authority.  Its  Acts  find  illu- 
mination in  the  "Street  which  is  called  Straight." 
The  fundamental  principles  of  Christianity  are  the 
fundamental  principles  of  natural  construction. 
Its  Lord  is  first  a  carpenter.  The  child  follower  of 
the  law  must  also  be  a  carpenter.  As  the  square  of 
life  is  formed  each  arm  of  the  square,  yielding  up 
center  to  the  central  one  of  the  square,  sees  the 
cross  born  which  holds  the  principle  of  equilibrium 
in  symbol  word  and  fact.  The  square  cross  is  the 
ether  cross  of  elements,  cross  of  emancipation. 
The  magnetic  center  is  broken  before  the  reality 
of  this  cross  is,  manifest.  To  break  the  center  of 
the  separate  one  that  the  square  may  be  formed 
of  equal  opposite  ones  is  the  labor  of  Christianity. 
This  center  Christianity  will  first  break  at  its  bal- 
lot box  and  within  its  temples  before  it  may  touch 
the  quick  of  life  to  read  the  scriptures  of  nations. 

Christianity  is  first  natural.  The  supernatural 
follows  the  natural  to  conquer  the  elemental  and 
declare  the  square  descent  from  above.  The  primi- 
tive will  cannot  form  the  Greek  cross.  It  may  cry 
Lord,  Lord,  but  it  cannot  enter  the  kingdom  of 
heaven.  Christianity  is  a  natural  religion  under- 
standing life  and  its  things  "from  the  foundations 
of  the  earth"  that  it  may  understand  that  which 
is  above  the  foundation  born  of  the  foundation. 
The  Christian  knows  from  his  place  upon  the 
earth  the  place  of  his  brother  opposite.  To  keep 
his  brother  in  his  place  he  keeps  himself  in  place 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  263 

comprehending  two  sustaining  the  Law  which  is 
first  three  to  be  one  four  square.  The  dual  curse 
has  fallen  from  his  life  and  there  is  no  more  curse. 
He  claims  heritage  from  the  holy  One  of  Israel; 
he  has  gone  in  unto  his  beloved;  he  is  free  in 
that  land  where  love  is  the  fulfilling  of  the 
Law.  He  stands  within  the  house  of  God  eter- 
nally at  rest.  He  is  forever  under  the  law  of  the 
woman,  looking  well  to  the  ways  of  his  own  house- 
hold, remaining  subject  to  the  Lord  of  Life,  silent 
before  him,  asking  no  questions  save  of  the  Hus- 
band of  creation.  The  Christian  knows  himself  his 
brother's  keeper  in  the  Law  which  keeps  the  Lord's 
portion  of  the  midst  for  equal  opposite  brothers 
and  sons  of  God.  He  is  forever  with  the  Lord, 
measuring  the  stature  of  a  man  by  the  rod  of  "the 
angel"  of  revelation.  Living  upon  the  circle  of 
the  earth  he  dwells  also  in  the  center  of  the  square 
to  see  "a  great  nation  arise  from  the  sides  of  the 
earth."  He  leaves  the  sides  of  the  earth  in  place. 
He  takes  nothing  away  from  one  side  for  the  glory 
of  the  other.  He  takes  away  no  man's  religion, 
neither  brings  him  a  new  one.  He  recognizes  the 
fact  that  the  Law  gave  and  the  Law  takes  away. 
He  brings  the  Law,  to  find  the  Law  and  his  Christ 
in  the  religions  of  all  men.  He  is  a  follower  of 
the  Law,  leaning  not  to  the  ways  of  his  own  under- 
standing. His  government  is  all  government;  his 
religion  all  religions;  his  country  is  the  One  coun- 
try which  is  the  square  round  kingdom  of  the  soul. 
He  is  seen  entering  all  places,  lifting  up  the 


264  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Host  at  all  altars ;  all  things  to  all  men,  ever  agree- 
ing with  thine  adversary  quickly,  recognizing  at 
once  that  the  adversary  is  right  from  his  own 
stand-point ;  he  relates  that  point  to  the  One  Law. 
The  Christian,  being  in  the  Twelve,  carries  "noth- 
ing save  a  staff  only."  He  has  lifted  up  "the  two 
witnesses"  of  the  Law ;  he  has  cast  off  the  increase 
born  of  the  dual  magnetic  center;  he  has  entered 
the  square;  his  wealth  is  the  wealth  given  to  the 
Twelve  by  a  natural  increase ;  he  has  no  money  in 
his  purse  born  of  the  dual  positive-negative  rela- 
tion ;  his  feet  are  shod  with  that  wisdom  given  to 
the  understanding  and  manifest  in  the  head,  which 
protects  the  soul  only.  Thus  sandalled,  he  obeys 
the  command  not  to  "put  on  two  coats;"  he  is 
clothed  in  the  one  square  seamless  triune  garment 
of  life  and  love ;  he  may  enter  every  house  with  the 
word,  Peace  be  unto  this  house.  In  his  rod  and 
staff  is  the  weight  and  measure  of  the  One  Law.  He 
worships  neither  in  this  mountain  nor  yet  at  Jeru- 
salem ;  he  worships  under  the  Greek  Cross ;  he  is 
a  follower  of  the  crescent  and  the  star ;  he  is  a  de- 
sire for  a  more  perfect  union. 


CHAPTER  XII 

THE  ONE  WORD,  THE  GLORIOUS 
FOURTH. 

"  Then  didst  thou  ordain  two  living  creatures,  the 
one  thou  callest  Enoch,  and  the  other  Leviathan,  and 
didst  separate  the  one  from  the  other.  Unto  Enoch 
thou  gavest  one  part,  which  was  dried  up  the  third 
day.  But  unto  Leviathan  thou  gavest  the  seventh 
part."  ..."  For  the  empty  are  empty  things,  and 
for  the  full  are  full  things."— (II  Esdras,  VI.) 

All  that  is  at  first  generative  and  dual  is  such 
for  the  ascension  from  two  to  the  one  which  is  four- 
square, through  the  third  principle  of  law.  It  is 
from  the  will  that  we  derive  our  inheritance.  In- 
heritance is  from  the  past,  or  from  the  one  above. 
The  will  is  always  a  representative  will.  That 
which  it  represents  is  the  law  which  we  have  chosen. 
Will  lies  in  Law.  Man,  in  choosing  a  law  to  reign 
over  him,  chooses  the  will  of  that  Law.  Man's  sal- 
vation lies  in  his  choice.  The  strong  man  and  na- 
tion use  their  strength  in  choosing  their  Law ;  they 
then  rest  in  the  Law.  Man  reaches  back  for  his 
inheritance,  or  up.  Having  reached  up,  he  re- 
ceives, through  the  One  law,  the  will  of  the  One 
Law.  "And  it  is  not  my  will  that  one  should  per- 
ish." America  reaches  today  for  her  divine  in- 
heritance handed  down,  cutting  off  her  animal  de- 
scent, by  her  own  ascension  to  her  original  inheri- 
tance. 

America  is  born  in  that  high  place  which  knows 
265 


266  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

no  descent.  She  rises  today  to  her  birthplace.  She 
recognizes  neither  father  nor  mother,  neither  as- 
cent nor  descent ;  she  holds  her  place  as  the  Fifth 
principle  of  the  square  forever  more.  That  which 
is  to  be  done  is  that  which  has  been  done.  Man  is 
original  only  when  he  copies  nature.  Civilization 
is  a  copy-book.  The  book  is  badly  written  when 
we  turn  from  "the  Law  as  our  school  master  to 
bring  us  to  Christ." 

Man,  abreast  of  the  times,  will  know  what 
relation  of  force  within  his  life  compels  his  ideas. 
He  can  no  longer  withhold  the  ballot  from 
woman  without  asking,  From  whence  my  will 
to  do  this  thing?  What  relation  of  force  is 
forced  upon  the  nation  in  the  confiscation  of  this 
ballot?  What  law  of  nature  is  set  in  motion  in 
the  nation  which  has  conceived  this  denial  of  the 
right  of  creation?  If  life  is  to  be  considered  as  a 
problem  of  relations  it  is  the  business  of  govern- 
ment to  so  consider  life.  It  is  the  business  of  na- 
tions to  know  whether  it  speaks  "my  word"  or  the 
word  of  Beelzebub. 

"The  Word"  is  a  square  triune  body  of  relation. 
The  Word  is  "my  body."  Science  has  brought 
the  light  of  the  Word.  "My  Word"  is  a  body  of 
creative  force  which  is  regenerative,  it  is  then  the 
business  of  Christian  nations  to  define  by  body  in 
the  flesh,  and  in  the  flesh  see  God.  Science  has  spo- 
ken the  word  of  interpretation  and  blazed  the  way 
for  the  coming  of  that  relation  of  creative  ele- 
ments which  forms  "my  word."  While  science  has 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  267 

enthroned  the  woman  and  entered  the  way  of  as- 
cension, the  State  stands  still  crying,  "Woman  is 
unfitted  for  political  life."  True,  O  king:  The 
political  life  of  the  nation  must  die  in  her  advent. 
It  is  the  life  of  a  part,  not  the  life  of  the  body  poli- 
tic. With  the  advent  of  woman  a  new  head  is  born, 
the  politician  dies  and  the  reign  of  Law  begins 
while  the  Word  is  made  flesh  to  dwell  among  us.  She 
comes  with  a  new  King,  to  be  greeted  with  Nine 
Cheers  for  the  red-white-and-blue.  She  comes  as 
the  central  star  of  the  square  bringing  the  flag  of 
peace. 

When  John  Baptist  has  finished  his  mission  he 
will  see  to  it  that  he  behead  himself  in  the  house  of 
Herod,  for  the  woman,  and  thus  his  power  de- 
creases that  I,  the  Son  of  man,  may  increase. 
America  stands  today  in  the  midst  of  a  giving  and 
a  taking  away.  That  which  is  taken  away  is  given. 
That  which  is  given  again  is  taken  away  from  the 
side  of  the  first  covenant.  To  see  these  Acts  of  the 
regeneration  America  becomes  One  "who  caught  up 
to  the  Third  heaven  and  saw."  Now  in  the  square 
regenerative  body  the  duality  will  be  the  square 
and  its  central  point.  With  these  two,  seen  in  the 
third  heaven,  you  enter  a  new  plane  of  understand- 
ing where  the  first  one  is  that  figure  I,  the  numeral 
value  of  which  is  Nine.  With  this  one  you  enter 
Paradise  where  the  first  number  is  10  and  all  be- 
low is  of  the  earth.  Here  you  control,  and  are  con- 
trolled by  the  thread  Ariadne  to  slay  a  monster. 
Here  you  enter  at  once  the  Supreme  Court  of  Jus- 


268  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

tice  which  is  the  territory  Dan  containing  the  head 
waters  of  the  river  Jordan,  where  the  regeneration 
must  be  baptized  by  the  waters  of  the  generation ; 
here  the  fore-runner  touches  the  head  of  the  One 
who  is  ascending  to  Golgotha,  and  the  Dove  is  sent 
forth  from  the  Holy  Ghost  while  a  voice  from 
Paradise  declares,  This  is  my  beloved  Son. 

The  Bible  of  Christianity  shall  be  read  as  a  book 
of  relations;  divine,  whole  relations  neither  male 
nor  female,  a  book  written  in  the  body  of  God,  no 
longer  a  book  of  male-female  relativities.  The  eye 
of  the  world  shall  ascend  to  Sion,  where  Art 
reigns  leading  nature. 

Ignorance  of  the  woman  is  an  original  mode 
of  motion  in  an  original  element.  Love  of  war 
and  preparation  for  war  is  an  original  element 
in  the  senses.  Life  asks  for  a  brain  with 
senses  to  push  the  discoveries  of  science  in  ex- 
ternal forces,  through  to  the  forces  of  physical  life 
in  man.  A  brain  with  sense  enough  to  establish 
the  triune  relations  of  life  within  and  without,  a 
brain  to  see  the  Lord  in  the  clouds  of  a  second 
coming,  a  brain  to  lift  the  vision  of  America  from 
a  Teddy  Bear  to  an  Eagle. 

Man  carries  the  "altar"  of  the  Lord  within  his 
own  brain.  The  altar  is  a  place  of  transmutation 
where  animal  forces  become.  Bring  your  animal 
forces  on  to  the  altar  of  the  law  and  lo  the  vision 
of  the  Law  has  altered  your  vision;  the  animals 
are  sacrificed  unto  the  Lord,  life  is  lifted  up;  all 
physical  force  within  and  without  is  drawn  in  to 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  269 

Soul.  The  altar  is  a  place  of  change  where  only 
the  animal  part  of  the  word  is  laid  in  burnt  offer- 
ing, leaving  ashes  upon  the  brain  for  interpreta- 
tion. 

When  Dante  emerging  from  purgatory  first  be- 
holds Beatrice  he  is  entranced  by  the  vision.  At 
once  comes  the  warning  of  life, — for  Dante  is  yet 
in  purgatory, — "Too  fixed  a  gaze." 

"  That  smile  of  saintly  brightness  drew  me  to  itself: 
When  forcibly,  toward  the  left,  my  sight 
The  sacred  virgins  turned;  for  from  their  lips 
I  heard  the  warning  sound:    '  Too  fixed  a  gaze.'  " 

The  terror  of  revelation  is  the  mind's  slavery  to 
that  dual  mode  of  motion  which  fixes  the  eye  upon 
the  man  of  Life,  then  swings  to  the  era  which  fixes 
the  eye,  for  a  correspondent  time,  upon  the  oppo- 
site woman.  This  the  danger,  which  Paul  calls 
the  "terror  of  the  law."  Beatrice  is  a  "Twi-fold" 
creature ;  she  is  not  to  be,  to  the  vision,  the  woman 
only,  she  is  an  holy  One.  She  is  the  son. 

Mine  eyes  with  such  an  eager  coveting 

Were  bent  to  rid  them  of  their  ten  years'  thirst." 

Mankind  is  to  heed  this  warning:  "Too  fixed  a 
gaze."  Heed  in  all  revelation  whether  of  letter  or 
of  spirit.  A  spiritual  vision  includes  the  man  of 
the  problem,  the  woman  of  the  problem,  the 
squared  soul,  and  the  Law,  I  Am.  A  spiritual 
vision  must  include  Jesus,  the  triune  Lord  and  his 


270  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Christ.     A  spiritual  vision  will  be  one  which  is  a 
square  deific,  not  one  which  is  a  serpent. 

To  see  the  whole  law  the  vision  covers  letter, 
spirit  and  holy  spirit  and  plane  of  expression. 
Man,  blind  from  birth,  will  establish  his  worship 
in  the  letter;  he  will  praise  his  God  by  the  letter 
without  a  look  at  the  whole  square  form,  which  is 
to  be  wrapped  in  the  garment  of  the  Law  which  is 
"without  seam."  We  have  chained  the  New  Testa- 
ment to  the  figures  of  the  Old.  "Praise  belongeth 
to  the  Lord"  and  the  soul  of  all  truth  is  found  in 
the  relation  of  the  old  to  the  new. 

The  whole  wide  world  has  compelled  the  woman 
of  Love  and  Law  to  live  alone  with  five  senses  as 
her  husband.  As  a  result,  Humanity  is  the  woman 
of  a  New  Testament,  at  the  well  of  Jacob,  living 
with  "five  husbands  and  he  whom  thou  hast  is  not 
thy  husband."  To  the  well,  which  was  Jacob's, 
and  where  the  cattle  of  the  Old  Testament  came  to 
drink,  comes  Jesus,  the  regeneration,  to  ask  drink 
of  the  woman  of  Samaria.  And  that  well  of  the 
Old  Testament  in  the  time  of  the  new,  becomes  the 
well  of  Regeneration  and  the  fountain  of  "living 
water."  "And  who  so  drinketh  of  this  well,"  sacred 
to  the  woman  and  the  Lord,  its  water  shall  be  unto 
him  the  water  of  life,  "in  him  a  well  springing  up 
into  everlasting  life." 

"And  the  woman  saith  unto  him,  Sir,  give  me 
this  water,  that  I  thirst  not,  neither  come  hither  to 
draw.  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Go  call  thy  husband, 
and  come  hither."  And  thus  the  well  of  Jacob  be- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  271 

comes  the  well  of  the  regeneration.  Now  by  this 
well  Joseph  is  a  fruitful  bough. 

The  world  has  compelled  the  woman  of  a  New 
Testament  to  draw  her  life  from  the  well  of  an  old 
dispensation,  heeding  not  her  cry  to  the  Lord  of 
Life:  "Give  me  that  I  thirst  not,  neither  come 
hither  to  draw."  The  world  has  compelled  the 
woman  to  drink  of  the  well  of  Jacob,  chaining  her 
to  that  era  of  evolution,  upon  the  plane  of  sense 
existence,  marked  by  life — B.  C.  Where  the 
woman  is,  the  world  is.  Where  the  woman  is, 
civilization  is. 

Every  form  fulfills  the  whole  One  Law  of  life. 
Every  one  form  records  history  A.  D.  and  B.  C. 
First  the  history  marked  B.  C. ;  then  the  advent  of 
the  woman  and  the  Law  in  the  holy  spirit  of  truth ; 
then  history  and  thought  and  motion,  marked  by 
the  Law  A.  D. ;  then  the  vision  which  marks  that 

B.  C.  falls  within  A. D.  And  that  B.  C.  is 

equal  with  A.  D.  And  time  is  no  more. 

When  the  evening  is  come  there  shall  be  no 
more  night,  no  more  heathen  and  Christian,  no 
more  darkness  and  light,  no  more  crime  and  virtue, 
ignorance  and  wisdom ;  for  the  masculine  forces  of 
time  and  space  are  arrayed  before  the  Lord  Jesus 
and  he  is  left  "alone  with  the  woman  standing  in 
the  midst";  and  the  masculine  life  of  ages  has  gone 
out,  "one  by  one, — beginning  at  the  eldest — even 
unto  the  last."  Life  waits  for  the  hour  when  there 
shall  be  no  more  B.  C.  and  A.  D.,  no  more  worship 
"in  this  mountain  nor  yet  at  Jerusalem."  "Wor-

ship  the  Father."     "I  and  my  Father  are  ONE. 

America  in  its  United  States  has  been  led  to 
the  summit  of  the  two  mountains  of  Purgatory. 
Freedom  lies  in  the  Paradise  of  the  whole  law. 
Upon  the  dual  mountains  of  purgatory  the  lead- 
ership of  the  masculine  arm  of  the  Law  ceases. 
And  does  the  leadership  of  the  woman  follow  here? 
No,  the  leadership  of  the  Son  of  the  Law  follows, 
and  this  sacred  truth  the  immortal  Dante  has  not 
hidden  from  us  in  his  revelation. 

Beatrice  is  one  who  turns  toward  the  mystic 
shape,  "that  joins  two  natures  in  one  form" 
through  a  third  creating  the  square  word  of  equi- 
librium. 

"  But  when  they  gave  her  place  to  speak, 
Then,  risen  upright  on  her  feet, 
She,  with  a  color  glowing  bright  as  fire, 
Did  answer:    Yet  a  little  while,  and  ye 
Shall  see  me  not;  and,  my  beloved  sisters. 
Again  a  little  while  and  ye  shall  see  me." 
"  Before  her  then  she  marshal'd  all  the  seven; 

...  So  on  she  passed;  and  had  not  set,  I  ween, 

Her  tenth   step  on  the  ground,   when,   with  mine 
eyes, 

Her  eyes  encountered.  .  .  .  " 

It  is  the  business  of  the  Nine  to  marshal  all  the 
Seven  and  write  upon  the  ground  One  with  the 
strength  of  Ten. 

The  Twentieth  Century  is  a  Third  Day  in  Chris- 
tian era,  the  creative  neutral  today.  The  Nineteenth 
Century  was  not  a  creative  era  but  a  magnetic 
age.  The  Twentieth  closes  and  opens  a  cycle;  it 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  273 

is  under  the  law  of  "the  last  days";  its  activities 
fall  at  the  closing  note  of  an  octave;  its  business 
is  to  subtract  Nine  from  eight ;  or  I  from  H.  Not 
the  Twentieth  but  the  Twenty-first  is  the  century 
of  freedom.  No  man  is  free  by  the  law  to  inherit 
the  Law  until  he  is  Twenty  One  in  the  year  of  our 
Lord.  We  salute  our  national  head  with  twenty 
one  guns ;  we  are  the  21st  word  of  freedom  in  cur 
Three  Cheers  for  the  red,  white  and  blue.  We 
will  turn  this  law  within,  and  push  it  "through  to 
its  infinity"  in  the  understanding  of  all  free  born 
Americans. 

In  the  Twentieth  Century  the  dual  pillars  of 
the  temple  rise  by  nature  decree.  The  call  of  Life 
is  now  for  Founders  for  the  new  kingdom  which 
is  to  be  the  square  kingdom  of  the  One  Law. 
Founders,  with  understanding,  who  have  washed 
in  the  See,  made  for  the  republic  to  wash  in. 
Here  we  pass  from  the  law  of  the  third  to  the  law 
of  the  fifth. 

Today  law  lifts  the  burdens  of  a  race.  Time 
writes  20,  that  in  that  20  man  may  write  One. 
The  dual  law  has  arrived  at  fulfillment  in  time. 
Two  has  become  10  on  either  side.  Time  has  cast 
the  Net,  for  the  people  to  count  the  within.  The 
Twentieth  Century  stands  in  time  as  the  even  to 
be  written  as  it  is  written,  and  broken,  as  the  body 
of  the  law  is  broken,  as  10  (  )  10.  Undeniable 
growth  has  done  it.  Nothing  after  one,  this  is 
fulfillment.  If  the  even  is  accepted,  and  seen  as 
the  preparation  of  the  passover  from  20th  to  21st 


274  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  value  of  the  Lord's  one,  which  is  10,  given  the 
midst,  then  our  regeneration  shall  begin  at  once 
to  be  about  30  years  of  age,  and  the  crucifixion 
of  the  passover  be  the  crucifixion  of  dual  thieves 
in  all  the  earth.  20  is  the  last  Hebrew  letter  of 
time.  20  the  limit  of  physical  expansion.  After 
20,  freedom,  or  21. 

The  ancient  legend  which  says  10  is  the  first 
number  of  Paradise  is  it  not  a  modern  word  of 
Christianity,  to  be  marked  A.  D.  The  twenty- 
first  century  of  freedom  lies  in  the  even  20.  All 
that  life  needs  today  is  a  Nimrod,  among  the  na- 
tions of  the  earth,  to  kill  time  by  a  square  shot  in 
the  central  eye,  declaring  the  fifth  principle  en- 
throned, and  time  no  more:  the  century  of  free- 
dom it  note,  the  nation  is  21,  the  Lord  God  omni- 
potent reigneth  in  the  midst  of  two. 

America  was  born  unto  life  for  this  hour;  not 
for  ourselves  are  we  here,  but  for  that  peace  which 
is  "My  Peace"  and  that  freedom  which  is  the 
Liberty  of  Law.  Today  we  face  the  supreme 
opportunity  and  the  supreme  temptation  of  re- 
publics. The  will  of  resistence  is  here  equal  to 
the  temptation,  that  Law  may  be  glorified.  Today 
our  business  is  neither  dominance  nor  imitation. 

"And  behold  I  come  quickly:  hold  fast  that 
which  thou  hast,  that  no  man  take  thy  crown. 

"Because  thou  hast  kept  the  word  of  my  pa- 
tience, I  also  will  keep  thee  from  the  hour  of  temp- 
tation, which  shall  come  upon  all  the  world,  to  try 
them  that  dwell  upon  the  earth. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  275 

"Him  that  overcometh  will  I  make  a  pillar  in 
the  temple  of  my  God,  and  he  shall  go  no  more 
out:  and  I  will  write  upon  him  the  name  of  God, 
and  the  name  of  the  city  of  my  God,  which  is  New 
Jerusalem,  which  cometh  down  from  heaven  from 
my  God :  and  I  will  write  upon  him  my  new  name." 

The  Christian  era,  on  to  its  twentieth  century, 
must  spend  itself  in  the  building  of  external,  or 
Hebrew,  forms.  The  Nineteenth  Century  gath- 
ered materials;  it  was  the  century  of  the  raven. 
The  Twentieth  sends  out  the  Dove  of  nature,  unto 
all  the  earth.  The  Nineteenth  was  a  magnetic 
century;  all  its  movements  were  under  the  mag- 
netic law;  it  gave  all  data  for  the  building  which 
is  eternal  in  the  heavens.  The  first  10  years  of 
the  new  century  were  Bridge  years.  Here  Law 
built  the  H  pillars  of  either  side.  The  century  of 
freedom  awakens  an  ether  wave  in  the  under- 
standing to  declare  The  woman  is  King. 

The  Twentieth  Century  is  a  century  of  under- 
standing. It  brings  its  understanding  born  of  the 
law  of  its  place  into  place  within  the  affairs  of 
civilization.  It  depends  on  Law  for  its  illumina- 
tion, discovering  the  "cup"  of  holy  grail  by  the 
light  of  Law,  lifting  up  Kundry  to  receive  the 
"cup"  beneath  the  life-giving  tree  of  immortality. 
It  brings  the  woman's  box  of  very  precious  oint- 
ment into  the  house  of  Simon  the  leper,  and  there 
forms  the  sanctuary  of  its  worship.  The  Twen- 
tieth Century  returns  to  nature  enthroning  the 
Triune  God  of  Life  and  Law. 


276  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

"  Great  is  Law,  great  are  the  few  old  landmarks  of  the 

law, 

They  are  the  same  in  all  ages,  and  shall  not  be  dis- 
turbed. ' ' 

The  Twentieth  Century  is  the  golden,  even  age 
of  light  which  restores    to    life    the    right    hand 
"which  doeth  valiantly."    As  America  restores  the 
ballot  of  citizenship  to  womanhood  she  naturalizes 
herself  and  all  her  people,  evens  her  problems  and 
emigrates  to  that  new  world  which  is  "the  other 
world"  of    New    Testament.     She    restores    this 
right  in  the  name  of    and    by  the    authority  of 
nature ;  not  in  the  name  of  Congress,  President,  or 
political  party,  but  in  the  name  of  the  Constitu- 
tion of  the  United  States  of  America,  where  she  is 
written  in  the  house  of  John  by  the  will  of  the 
creative  law  and  Lord  of  life,  and    here    clothed 
with  the  sun  as  a  Son  of  Life.    The  United  States 
restores  the  nature  right,  not  as  favor  or  privilege 
or  expedient  or  as  self -protection  from  the  wrath 
of  the  Law,  but  for  love  of  Life  and  a  desire  for  a 
more  perfect  union  with  law  in  the  life  of  Liberty. 
Not  as  a  gift  of  the  United  States  to  her;  not  in 
the  name  of  men  will  she  receive  her  crown  of  citi- 
zenship, but  in  the  name  of  the  woman  of  creation, 
whose  symbol  and  word  she  is,  given  by  the  author- 
ity of  the  Lord  God  of  nature,  who  ordained  a 
Virgin  Knight  and  a  Woman  King  as  the  crown 
of  "my  two  witnesses    in    all   the    earth."     "And 
a  woman  shall  compass  a  man."     And  a  woman 
shall  be  clothed  with  the  sun. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  277 

The  problem  of  our  charity  today  is  not  at  all, 
What  shall  we  give  to  woman  now  that  she  has 
awakened  to  ask,  but  What  shall  be  the  Lord's 
portion;  for  that  which  is  given  is  received  again 
from  the  creative  center  formed. 

The  darkness  of  creation's  morn  covers  the 
earth  today.  Nations  have  gone  insane  upon  the 
subject  of  protection  from  each  other.  They  have 
no  fear  of  the  Lord;  The  intelligence  which  de- 
fines the  body  of  the  law  is  a  dark  intelligence. 
The  world  is  emerging  from  a  pitchblend  in  its 
understanding,  but  the  light  radium  is  in  the 
pitchblend. 

The  brain  of  the  world  is  its  ark ;  all  animals 
are  now  in  it.  The  ark  which  has  sent  forth  the 
raven  shall  also  send  forth  the  Dove,  for  thus  saith 
the  Lord: 

"Make  thou  an  ark  of  Gopher  wood ;  rooms  shalt 
thou  make  in  the  ark,  and  shall  pitch  it  within  and 
without  with  pitch." 

Darkness  is  the  creative  condition  in  which  the 
seed  of  light  is  hidden.  The  fourth  day  brings 
the  sun  which  also  lies  in  the  mind's  eye. 

The  center  between  opposites  establishes  the  rod 
and  bow  of  promise.  The  center  between  opposites 
is  the  third  which  brings  with  it  the  fourth,  if  we 
will  see  the  whole  opposite  function.  The  third 
central  note,  lying  in  the  midst  of  two,  brings  an 
atmosphere  all  its  own  which  is  an  ether  atmos- 
phere, passing  and  going  through  all  things.  We 


278  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

create  the  center  to  be  recreated  by  its  breath. 
The  third  is  at  once  a  first  and  second  and  fourth 
marvel  instantly.  Its  atmosphere  is  round.  Our 
fourth  dimension  lies  in  the  midst  with  the  third 
over  and  in  all. 

The  fourth  is  manifest  as  the  whole  round  at- 
mosphere of  the  third. 

Let  us  make  the  State  a  symbol  fact.  Today  it  is 
a  first  masculine  dimension  of  expression  in  politi- 
cal life.  It  has  enthroned  the  male.  It  knows  not 
the  Son  which  is  three-in-one.  The  State  is  now  a 
plane  of  expression  for  relativities  of  male  forces 
outside  the  realm  of  the  soul,  which  is  born  of  equal 
opposites.  The  relativities  now  established  are 
the  relativities  of  the  animal  soul  through  which 
the  nation  is  transmigrating.  Suppose  this  jour- 
ney ended  and  the  nation  ready  to  enter  the  body 
of  the  Lion  of  the  tribe  of  Juda.  The  state  is  now 
a  male  center  or  a  first  magnetic  dimension  of  rela- 
tions. The  male  relation  which  has  formed  its 
body  has  formed  its  ideas.  It  is  ignorant  of  all 
law  save  animal  law  and  appetite.  It  has  not  en- 
tered the  square  realm  of  Art.  Its  fruit  is  fruit 
of  the  dual  magnetic  law.  It  is  generation  only. 
Suppose,  now,  that  this  same  State,  recognizing 
a  natural  law  of  regeneration,  at  once  proceeds 
to  establish  normal  regenerative  relations  of  in- 
herent forces.  It  invites  another  dimension  of 
force  and  its  ideas.  The  State,  having  changed 
its  inherent  relations,  forms  new  center  for  the 
distribution  of  new  force.  It  leaves  the  animal 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  279 

state  of  separation  and  enters  the  human-divine 
body  of  life.  It  no  longer  desires  that  Man  shall 
be  considered  as  the  whole  diameter  of  the  body 
politic  about  which  the  whole  body  politic  moves. 
It  sees  the  diameter  of  the  true  circle  as  a  rela- 
tion of  opposites.  It  determines  to  build  and  enter 
a  larger  world.  It  no  longer  desires,  and  insists 
that  men  shall  be  interpreted  as  the  one  people. 
It  sees  a  dual  square  law  as  the  guide  and  author- 
ity of  a  new  activity.  It  sees  a  straight  line  of 
dual-triune  relation  passing  through  the  earth 
with  "staves"  drawn  through  the  earth  on  either 
side.  It  has  moved  to  and  fro  in  the  earth  and  up 
and  down;  it  concludes  to  pass  through  the  earth 
and  live  upon  the  circumference  where  light 
reigns.  It  establishes  the  ends  of  the  earth.  It 
has  seen  a  light.  Its  vision  is  changed.  Its  rela- 
tive forces  are  then  to  be  changed.  It  now  de- 
clares its  new  vision  must  be  registered  in  the  flesh 
of  organic  law.  It  has  been  a  plane  of  political 
expression  for  a  relation  of  dual  male  elements  in 
positive  and  negative  function.  It  now,  under  the 
new  system  of  relations,  becomes  a  plane  of  ex- 
pression for  a  triune  square  relation  of  opposite 
forces.  It  was  a  first  dimension  only  in  its  primi- 
tive vision.  It  is  now  a  Fourth  dimension,  "the 
glorious  fourth,"  the  reality  of  the  fourth  which 
it  had  celebrated  with  the  primitive  fire  of  the 
magnetic  law  manifest  in  its  ideas.  It  is  now  a 
fourth  dimension  of  what?  Of  something  ten 
thousand  miles  away  in  a  state  of  sky?  A  fourth 


280  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

dimension  of  itself.  Is  it  the  same  state?  Yes. 
No.  It  has  arrived  where  opposites  are  the  same. 
It  has  the  same  body,  yet  is  a  new  body  of  life. 
It  has  become  the  resurrection  and  the  life,  yet  it 
is  dead.  It  is  a  plane  of  expression  for  the  square 
one  triune  relation  of  force,  which  relation  has. 
created  a  new  soul,  bringing  its  own  new  body.  It 
has  released  the  Law  from  the  heart  of  the  earth. 

The  fourth  dimension  rises  frojn  the  first.  The 
risen  Law  enters  and  dwells  in  that  fourth  dimen- 
sion, and  here  the  people  dwell  forever  with  the 
Lord,  having  entered  the  rest  prepared  by  nature 
since  the  foundations  were  brought  forth.  "A 
sane  Fourth"  is  the  cry  of  reform.  Let  this  sanity 
be  round  and  whole  and  square,  and  the  Glorious 
Fourth  be  celebrated  as  the  birthday  of  the  sons 
of  liberty  in  the  Law.  The  Fourth  is  the  birthday 
of  the  sun  since  time  began. 

The  State  which  has  yielded  up  its  body  as  a 
plane  of  expression  for  the  whole  triune  one,  w  it 
the  same  State?  Nay,  nay.  It  has  risen,  and  He 
has  risen  indeed.  The  State  which  has  awakened 
from  the  dead  has  seen  the  transfiguration,  and 
with  the  Law  beheld  the  original  form,  clothed 
with  the  glory  which  is  and  was  and  is  to  be  its 
own  involved  glory.  "And  a  voice  came  out  of 
the  cloud,  saying,  This  is  my  beloved  Son:  hear 
Him." 

"And  suddenly,  when  they  had  looked  around 
about,  they  saw  no  man  any  more,  save  Jesus  cmLy 
with  themselves."

O  America:  Thou  Man  of  Might,  woman  of 
resurrection  morn,  the  Master  has  come  and  calleth 
for  Thee. 


CHAPTER  XIII 
THE  LAW  JUDAS 

"  Let  us  consider  that  wonderful  type  of  the'  resur- 
rection which  is  seen  in  the  Eastern  countries,  that  is 
to  say,  in  Arabia. 

"  There  is  a  certain  bird  called  the  Phoenix ;  of 
this  there  is  but  one  at  a  time  and  that  lives  five  hun- 
dred years.  And  when  the  time  of  its  dissolution 
draws  near,  when  it  must  die,  it  makes  itself  a  nest 
of  frankincense  and  myrrh  and  other  spices,  into 
which  when  its  time  is  fulfilled  it  enters  and  dies. 

"  But  its  flesh  putrifying  breeds  a  certain  worm 
which,  being  nourished  with  the  juice  of  the  dead 
bird,  brings  forth  feathers;  and  when  it  is  grown  to 
a  perfect  state,  it  takes  up  the  nest  in  which  the 
bones  of  its  parent  lie,  and  carries  it  from  Arabia  into 
Egypt,  to  a  city  called  Heliopolis;  and  in  open  day 
in  the  sight  of  all  men  lays  it  upon  the  altar  of  the 
sun,  and  so  returns  whence  it  came. 

"  The  priests  then  search  the  records  of  the  time, 
and  find  that  it  returned  precisely  at  the  end  of  five 
hundred  years." — I  Clement,  II. 

"  The  mounting  Phoenix  chaste  desire, 
This  virtue  framed  to  conquor  vice, 
This  not  scene  Nymph,  this  Heatless  Fire, 

This  Chast-found  Bird  of  noble  price 
Was  named  Avisa  by  decree 
That  name  and  nature  might  agree." 

— Henry  Wilibee. 

Man  cannot  work  out  the  problem  of  equality. 

This  is  entirely  the  business  of  the  Law  which  has 

arisen  and  arisen  again.     Man  cannot  work  out 

the  resurrection.    He  can  see  the  Law  and  cast  the 

282 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  283 

burden  of  achievement  upon  Him.  The  problem 
of  Equality  is  the  problem,  not  of  the  "function" 
of  man  or  of  woman,  but  entirely  a  problem  of 
function  in  the  Law.  "Equality  is  not  identity  of 
function"  in  men .  and  women,  says  the  distin- 
guished ex-President.  Equality  is  not  function 
at  all  in  either  men  or  women.  '  Equality  is  the 
breath  of  Law  in  two  equal  and  opposite  who  have 
yielded  up  "function"  to  the  law,  using  individual 
power  only  to  maintain  equal-opposite  relation 
that  Law  may  function.  This  fact  establishes  the 
rest  of  man  from  function,  which  is  the  rest  given 
by  the  One  who  giveth  his  beloved  sleep. 

We  see  the  birth  of  the  triune  one  at  Beth-le- 
hem  in  the  midst  of  animal  forces.  This  is  the 
infant  birth.  We  will  establish  first  the  infant 
birth  and  its  law  among  animal  forces  beneath  a 
five  pointed  star.  The  triune  one  becomes.  We 
will  go  on  to  Jerusalem  for  the  teaching  at  Twelve. 
The  third  is  to  become  the  fifth  and  the  fifth  is 
the  Phoenix  of  all  resurrection.  The  infant  birth 
will  lie  under  the  law  of  the  second  letter  of  the 
Hebrew  elements,  Beth.  This  letter  the  regeneration 
will  pronounce  first.  Now  our  first  letter  of  life, 
will  be  the  magnetic  law  with  all  that  is  therein. 
The  second  will  be  a  law  which  is  an  ether.  The 
regeneration  will  pronounce  the  second  first. 

In  the  Apocryphal  book  of  the  infancy  of  Jesus 
we  find  the  record  of  Jesus'  development  and  the 
way  of  regenerative  vision  unfolded.  "A  certain 


284  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

schoolmaster  named  Zaccheus,  standing  in  a  cer- 
tain place,  heard  Jesus  speaking.  .  .  .  When  he 
sat  down  to  teach  the  letters  to  Jesus,  he  began 
with  the  first  letter  Aleph;  but  Jesus  pronounced 
the  second  letter  Beth,  and  said  over  all  the  letters 
to  him  to  the  end." 

All  holy  birth  falls  in  this  second  letter  Beth; 
Beth-el  is  the  nature  place  of  praise.  Before  and 
in  all  alphabets  lies  the  alphabet  of  nature.  In 
placing  the  third  principle  first  with  the  second  we 
follow  nature's  command  to  all  Creation.  Our  first 
man  will  then  be  Cain,  who  bears  five  of  the  wife 
of  Nod. 

The  whole  proposition  of  nature  in  the  regen- 
eration is  one  to  establish  the  triune  body  in  earth 
in  the  dual  brain  of  a  race.  The  nation  which 
will  understandingly  write  the  body  of  the  law, 
filling  that  body  with  its  own  blood,  inherits  the 
increase  of  the  Law  to  be  the  rich  man  of  Ari- 
mathaea,  holding  the  Cup  of  holy  grail  to  eat  its 
bread  of  immortality. 

The  body  which  has  arisen  from  the  third  day 
has  bone  and  structure,  but  it  has  no  blood.  Its 
blood  must  be  the  nation's  blood.  The  nation's 
blood  shall  then  be  the  blood  of  the  risen  Law. 
And  this  whole  ascending  process  is  seen  when  the 
Hebrew,  or  physical  alphabet  of  national  life,  is 
seen  to  pronounce  Beth  first.  This  risen  body  is 
sacred.  That  sacredness  has  yet  been  but  dimly 
perceived.  Religion  has  brought  us  faith  in  that 
which  is  a  divine  whole  reality  manifest  in  all  flesh. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  285 

The  scientific  era  relating  all  truth  to  nature  will 
establish  that  which  religion  has  declared.  When 
this  body  is  again  defined  unto  life  by  science  all 
Life  shall  declare,  He  has  risen  again.  The  triune 
body  is  under  the  law  of  resurrection  to  be  sown 
and  rise  again.  When  this  body  is  defined  by  the 
revelator  of  the  Twentieth  Century  it  will  be  de- 
fined never  again  to  be  stolen -from  the  earth  of 
physical  Law. 

It  is  in  the  second  record  of  The  Infancy  that  we 
see  The  Regeneration  asking  the  meaning  of  the 
first.  In  the  second  Apocryphal  record  we  have: 
"There  was  at  Jerusalem  one  named  Zaccheus, 
who  was  a  schoolmaster.  .  .  .  And  he  bade  him 
say  Aleph ;  and  when  he  had  said  Aleph,  the  mas- 
ter bade  him  pronounce  Beth ;  And  the  Lord  Jesus 
said  to  him,  Tell  me  first  the  meaning  of  the  letter 
Aleph,  and  then  I  will  pronounce  Beth.  And  when 
the  master  threatened  to  whip  him,  the  Lord  Jesus 
explained  to  him  the  meaning  of  the  letters,  which 
the  oblique,  and  what  letters  had  double  figures; 
which  had  points,  and  which  had  none ;  why  one  let- 
ter went  before  another ;  and  many  other  things  he 
began  to  tell  him,  and  explain,  of  which  the  master 
himself  had  never  heard,  nor  read  in  any  book. 
.  .  .  And  turning  to  Joseph  he  said,  Thou  hast 
brought  a  boy  to  me  to  be  taught,  who  is  more 
learned  than  any  master.  And  he  said  also  to  St. 
Mary,  Your  son  has  no  need  of  any  learning." 

When  The  Regeneration  is  established  in  phy- 
sical form  by  its  own  law  the  natural  body  of  ere- 


286  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

ative  relation  holds  the  wisdom  which  is  inherent 
in  the  Law  which  formed  it.  "Then  opening  a 
book,  he  taught  his  master  the  prophets,  but  was 
ashamed,  and  was  at  a  loss  to  conceive  how  he  came 
to  know  the  letters."  When  the  regenerative  body 
is  formed  by  the  intelligence  of  nations  wisdom 
belonging  to  the  Law  of  that  body  springeth  up 
from  within.  The  Law  not  only  yields  up  its  body 
and  blood,  but  its  wisdom  and  power  unto  man  or 
nation  accepting  the  incarnation  of  the  One  Law 
within  the  personal  flesh  and  blood.  All  under- 
standing is  wrapped  in  that  second  covenant  which 
is  the  second  letter  of  life,  Beth.  Now  the  Logos 
of  Beth  falls  at  eight.  Here  nature's  hymn  of 
praise  is  written.  "Arise,  go  up  to  Bethel  and 
dwell  there.  Then  Jacob  said  unto  his  household, 
and  to  all  that  were  with  him,  Put  away  the 
strange  Gods  that  are  among  you,  and  be  clean 
and  change  your  garments: 

"And  let  us  arise  and  go  to  Bethel.  ...  So 
Jacob  went  to  Luz,  which  is  in  the  land  of  Canaan, 
that  is  Bethel.  And  he  built  there  an  altar,  and 
called  the  place  El-beth-el:  because  God  appeared 
unto  him  there." 

In  the  square  opposites  are  equal,  and  the  fifth 
principle  of  the  square  the  equal  with  all.  "To 
whom  then  will  ye  liken  me,  or  shall  I  be  equal, 
saith  the  Holy  One." 

The  law  of  trinity  and  holy  trinity  is  an  He- 
brew Law,  given  by  the  Hebrew  forces  ofall  life 
elements.  In  reading  the  old  by  the  light  of  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  287 

new  we  note  that  the  second  letter  of  universal  law 
is  the  first  letter  of  Hebrew  Bible.  We  may  read 
the  whole  New  Testament  then  in  its  Hebrew,  or 
fundamental  physical  expression.  The  real  first 
vital  relation  of  life  is  first  and  last  the  three-in- 
one  relation.  "He  that  climbeth  up  some  other 
way,  the  same  is  a  thief  and  a  robber.  ...  I  am 
come  that  they  might  have  light,  and  that  they 
might  have  it  more  abundantly.  .  .  .  The  good 
shepherd  giveth  his  life  for  the  sheep.  .  .  .  There- 
fore doth  my  Father  love  me,  because  I  lay  down 
my  life  that  I  might  take  it  up  again.  ...  I  have 
power  to  lay  it  down,  and  I  have  power  to  take  it 
up  again.  My  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  I  give 
unto  them  eternal  life.  My  Father  which  gave 
them  to  me,  is  greater  than  all  ...  and  I  and  my 

Father  are  one Then  the  Jews  took  up 

stones  again  to  stone  him." 

The  nature  statesman  will  bring  knowledge  of 
the  universal  Law  to  the  affairs  of  state.  He  will 
know  the  whole  triune  body  of  truth.  He  will  see 
the  life  forces  of  the  kingdom  of  these  states  as  the 
life  force  of  a  universal  Law.  He  will  note  the 
manner  in  which  the  bread,  which  is  the  life  of  the 
natural  body,  is  broken  at  the  ballot  box.  In  all 
parts,  in  the  home,  in  the  ballot  box,  wherever  the 
house  of  God  is,  the  bread  of  Life  is  to  be  broken 
"in  remembrance  of  me,"  that  Justice  may  give 
birth  to  Liberty.  The  life  forces  of  the  nation, 
centering  at  the  ballot  box,  shall  represent  the 


288  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

whole  life  of  the  nation,  to  be  there  broken  as  the 
One  body  of  the  One  Law  is  broken,  in  equal  op- 
posite parts,  to  establish  the  whole  triune  relation 
of  two,  which  relation  shall  establish  the  body  of 
force  which  is  the  regenerative  Lord  of  our  life. 
In  establishing  the  triune  relation  in  John  the 
fourth,  we  understand  that  not  a  bone  of  him  was 
broken,  and  his  garment,  being  seamless,  was  then 
divided  into  four  parts. 

The  body  which  was  broken  for  the  passover  is 
not  broken  when  the  record  of  the  Fourth  is  seen 
m  that  breaking.  The  contradiction  in  the  record 
becomes  its  illumination.  "Knowing  this  first,  that 
no  prophecy  of  the  Scriptures  is  of  any  private 
interpretation."  (II  Peter,  20.)  This  record 
states  its  whole  facts  by  opposites ;  thus  the  record 
is  under  the  nature  Law  to  be  read  as  it  is  written. 

Wherever  life  is  broken  into  parts  for  the  cre- 
ation "in  remembrance  of  me,"  me  shall  mean  in 
remembrance  of  "my  body"  of  physical  life,  and 
this  body  shall  be  a  universal  Law  and  Lord,  cov- 
ering the  whole  domain  of  nature,  its  earth,  and 
its  heaven  above  the  earth  with  waters  beneath. 
As  the  triune  bread  of  life  is  broken  at  the  ballot 
box  of  these  States,  America  shall  manifest  that 
breaking  in  a  new  body  which  represents  the  Lib- 
erty of  the  Law  to  shed  its  life  blood  for  the  im- 
mortality of  the  Nation. 

All  the  disciples,  they  who  have  seen  the 
Twelve,  will  begin  to  look  at  once  for  a  second, 
coming. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  289 

All  the  terror  of  the  law  lies  in  the  fact  that  the 
organization  of  the  world  will  not  look  at  once 
for  the  natural  second  coming  of  their  original  vis- 
ion, so  stagnate  and  grow  rotten  and  at  the  limit 
die.  In  all  nature  the  natural  ascending  chord 
will  at  once  follow  its  third  by  its  fifth. 

All  organizations  in  all  the  world's  history  Have 
bound  themselves  to  the  natural  law  of  dissolution 
which  denies  the  ascension  of  the  second  covenant 
from  the  first.  So  republics  have  died.  Wherever 
the  second  covenant  is  unknown  the  first  must  die, 
at  a  limit  of  growth  set  by  eternal  law.  There  is 
a  natural  period  of  physical  limitation  never  to  be 
ignored. 

At  this  physical  limitation  God  sends  forth  His 
Son,  a  triune  one.  Man  breaks  the  bread  of  life  in 
triune  relation  to  see  the  whole  law.  Where  this  tri- 
une bread  is  broken  at  the  passover  look  for  the  one 
who  will  betray  the  ascension.  He  is  omnipresent. 
Know  his  Law  and  the  manner  of  his  redemption, 
for  he  will  surely  burst  asunder  in  the  midst  and 
"go  to  his  own  place"  in  the  Acts.  He  is  a  force  of 
life,  and  as  a  force  of  life  is  the  servant  of  the  Law. 
When  Judas  has  his  own  place,  and  is  there  known 
— for  he  does  the  same  thing  at  the  same  time  in 
the  same  place  in  all  ascension  of  life — he  thus  be- 
comes "a  guide"  to  those  who  are  seeking  the  re- 
generation and  the  life  which  is  immortal.  Judas 
is  "numbered  with  us"  in  the  Acts  of  the  Law.  In 
him  Scripture  is  fulfilled"  "concerning  Judas 
which  was  guide  to  them  that  took  Jesus."  Judas 


290  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

betrays ;  he  also  serves.  His  transgression  is  fore- 
told upon  all  planes.  And  at  the  limit  of  trans- 
gression his  sin  becomes  the  opportunity  of  life. 
He  falls  to  regain  his  own  higher  place,  "from 
which  Judas  by  transgression  fell,  that  he  might 
go  to  his  own  place."  This  Judas  becomes 
Matthias,  in  the  record  which  is  a  record  of  ascend- 
ing life  in  which  there  is  no  death. 

The  Judas  sin  falls  at  the  limit  of  physical  ex- 
pansion, where  the  magnetic  forces  of  nature  deny 
the  one  opposite,  selling  the  whole  triune  body  of 
life  to  the  self.  Here  the  nation  stands  today. 
Here  womanhood  stands  over  against  the  nation 
pleading  for  the  Law.  The  promise  is  sure.  Judas 
shall  lift  up  himself  and  throw  down  the  "thirty 
pieces"  of  silver.  The  forces  of  righteousness  have 
but  to  move  on ;  not  one  jot  or  tittle  of  the  Law  has 
ever  failed.  Judas  will  yield  up  the  thirty  pieces 
of  silver.  'Tis  the  promise. 

At  the  limit  the  magnetic  force  can  extend  its 
self -centered  power  no  further.  Here  the  one  who 
denies  the  Law  may  recognize  the  one  opposite, 
establishing  the  soul  of  the  midst,  receiving  the 
blood  of  the  central  life.  Thus  Judas  may  become 
the  regeneration  and  the  life,  in  the  triune  redemp- 
tion of  the  Holy  Trinity. 


CHAPTER  XIV. 

THE  LAW  LAMECH 

I 
"  Bring  the  fish  which  ye  have  now  caught." 

Every  age  has  its  field  of  achievement.  The 
battle  of  life  is  now  upon  the  HIGH  SEE.  The  na- 
tion with  courage  to  set  sail  upon  this  sea  becomes 
the  Dreadnaught  of  Life.  This  sail  will  be  a 
drive  through  the  fourth  dimension. 

A  High  Mass  of  elemental  forces  is  called  by 
life.  For  this  Mass  all  nature  now  makes  prepara- 
tion. For  this  place  nature  has  law.  This  place  is 
under  the  law  of  the  Sabbath.  This  place  is  the 
Sabbath.  Here  the  body  of  the  law  is  to  be  mani- 
fest as  the  Host  is  lifted  up.  The  place  where  Life 
lifts  up  the  Host  becomes  the  House  of  God. 

All  understanding  must  center  here.  In  the 
mass  of  the  Seventh  one  is  lifted  up.  The  law  is 
eternal.  The  danger  which  threatens  America  in 
its  United  States  is  that  at  this  place  of  the  mass- 
ing of  life  elements  the  one  lifted  up  will  be  that 
body  of  all  ignorance,  "me"  and  not  the  One  which 
is  the  body  of  the  One  Law.  One  will  here  be  en- 
throned which  must  be  Personality  or  Law.  Now 
America,  mind  your  Personality,  for  this  P  is  fol- 
lowed by  the  Quickening  of  a  seed  here  sown.  Let 
your  Personality  be  universal  Law  and  your  Q 
shall  be  the  round  heel  of  the  woman  upon  the  ser- 
pent's head. 

291 


292  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Here  the  square  temple  is  to  be  raised.  Here 
man  bursts  through  the  Hell  Gates  of  primitive 
fire  to  declare  i  AM.  Man  has  but  the  law  of  a  few 
days  to  learn.  All  physical  extension  is  under  the 
law  of  the  Seven.  In  the  Sabbath  the  Law  must 
be  worshiped.  For  this  worship  the  Sabbath  is 
made  for  man.  Six  days  of  physical  expansion 
have  been  the  preparation  for  the  rest  of  the  Sab- 
bath when  man  worships  the  Law,  casting  off  care. 
Here  the  end  of  the  world  and  the  beginning  of 
the  world's  heaven.  "All  that  is  made  in  the  world 
had  a  beginning  and  an  end,  and  the  end  is  mani- 
fest. Even  so  the  times  of  the  Highest  hath  plain 
beginnings,  wonders  and  powerful  works,  and  end- 
ings in  offices  and  signs." 

No  breath  of  the  word  of  natural  law  will  be 
found  in  the  understanding  during  the  whole  phy- 
sical expanse.  The  Sabbath  enthrones  natural 
Law.  The  Sabbath  is  made  for  the  understanding 
of  the  Seven  law  of  the  ascension. 

No  word  of  knowledge  in  the  realm  of  reality 
is  breathed  until  the  tree  of  the  midst  is  revealed 
to  the  woman  by  the  law  of  the  serpent.  A  mist 
rises  from  the  sea  before  the  woman  awakens  to 
conceive  with  the  Law.  A  rod  blossoms  before 
man  is  wedded  to  the  woman  in  whom  is  already 
conceived  the  whole  body  of  life. 

A  mist  that  rises  from  the  sea, 

A  God  that  breathes, 

A  red,  red  rose  from  Love's  first  morn, 

And  Mary  came  when  Eve  was  born. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  293 

America  is  ready  to  penetrate  the  mists  of  a 
false  dawn,  ready  to  be  the  holy  see,  ready  to  pre- 
pare the  body  of  the  law,  ready  to  keep  the  Sab- 
bath day,  ready  to  understand  the  law  Lamech  and 
wed  two.  America  has  arrived.  Her  days  of  phy- 
sical expansion  are  ended.  In  the  days  of  physical 
expansion  man  has  worked  in  his  sleep.  In  the 
last  days  we  dead  awake  "in  thy  likeness."  "This 
is  the  word  that  endureth  forever.  All  they  that 
keep  it  shall  come  to  life,  but  such  as  leave  it  die." 
(Baruch  iv.) 

At  the  Seventh  place  in  the  law  of  ascension 
Manhood  and  Womanhood  become  negative  to  the 
ascension  of  law,  obedient  to  the  command  of  the 
Sabbath.  "He  gave  them  knowledge,  and  the  law 
of  life  for  an  heritage.  He  made  an  everlasting 
covenant  with  them,  and  showed  them  his  judg- 
ments. He  gave  them  few  days,  and  a  short  time, 
and  power  over  the  things  therein.  They  received 
the  use  of  the  five  operations  of  the  Lord,  and  in 
the  sixth  place  he  imparted  them  understanding, 
and  in  the  seventh  speech,  and  the  interpretation 
of  the  cognitions  thereof."  This  is  quoted  from 
the  Apocrypha,  where  we  have  the  Bud  of  the 
midst  defined,  sustained  by  and  sustaining  all  that 
is  B.  C.  and  all  that  is  A.  D. 

In  the  Old  Testament  we  have  the  Messiah,  in 
the  New  the  law  of  Messias,  in  the  Apocrypha  the 
BudHA  which  was  MessiAH  promising  the  fruit 
Messias  through  the  bud  Ha.  The  tree  of  the 
midst  we  shall  find  to  be  the  Buddha  tree  of  Eden- 


294  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Patmos  under  which  all  Christians  worship  to 
gather  leaves  from  either  side,  for  the  healing  of 
nations. 

In  understanding  of  the  law  of  the  sev^ 
enth  man  rests  from  his  labors,  having  planted  the 
eternal  in  normal  soil  to  produce  reality  as  its 
first  fruit. 

"And  while  the  children  of  Israel  were  in  the 
wilderness,  they  found  a  man  gathering  sticks 
upon  the  Sabbath  day. 

"And  they  that  found  him  gathering  sticks 
brought  him  unto  Moses  and  Aaron,  and  unto  all 
the  congregation. 

"And  they  put  him  in  ward,  because  it  was  not 
declared  what  should  be  done  to  him. 

"And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses,  The  man  shall 
be  surely  put  to  death:  all  the  congregation  shall 
stone  him  with  stones  without  the  camp.  And  all 
the  congregation  brought  him  without  the  camp, 
and  stoned  him  with  stones,  and  he  died;  as  the 
Lord  commanded  Moses" 


II 

Ye  have  seen  what  I  did  unto  the  Egyptians,  and 
how  I  bare  you  on  eagles  wings,  and  brought  you  unto 
myself." — Exodus  19,  4- 

Set  bounds  about  the  mount,  and  sanctify  it." — 
Exodus  19,  23. 

The  Sabbath  is  Lamech  the  Seventh,  place  of  re- 
demption. This  word  Lamech  is  a  golden  mine. 
All  Old  and  New  Testament  record  is  pressed  into 
it.  This  stone  of  revelation  nations  dare  not  kill. 
A  curse  which  is  seventy  and  seven-fold  rests  upon 
one  who  kills  Lamech.  He  who  dares  among  the 
nations  of  the  earth  to  be  Lamech,  supports  the 
whole  earth. 

Kill  this  stone  and  you  will  kill  the  regeneration 
and  its  resurrection ;  Breathe  upon  it  and  lo !  a 
stone  of  Abraham.  Here  all  revelation  may  rest 
until  with  the  hammer  of  Thor  is  declared  the  one 
which  weds  two.  At  this  place  the  square  is  born. 
Ascension  to  this  point  has  been  a  straight  line  of 
base.  Here  the  square  is  added  to  that  line  and 
lifted  up  as  the  banner  of  the  Christ.  Your  line 
of  base  has  been  but  a  triune  mark  of  relation; 
here  the  holy  triune.  Here  you  carry  the  law  AH 
to  AZ,  returning  from  Z  to  H  to  declare  One  which 
is  I.  We  note  here  that  Z  falls  in  the  26th  place 
of  English  revelation,  and  so  under  the  law  of  the 
295 


296  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Eighth  (or  H)  place  in  the  octave  which  meas- 
ures the  revelation.  We  note  that  nature  has 
formed  this  Z  of  the  figure  7  and  its  reversion. 
Here  a  stone  is  left  to  mark  a  place,  "unto  this 
day."  Here  the  ascension  forms  that  stone  of  law 
which  we  call  a  Swastika.  Where  Lamech  is  killed 
this  stone  formed  of  the  law  Z  and  its  figure  7  is 
not  left. 

Lamech  is  the  one  whole  law.  The  nation  which 
has  formed  only  the  male-female  eye  has  killed 
Lamech.  This  eye  cannot  see  an  I  lifted  up.  It  can- 
not use  the  dual-triune-square  one  carpenter's  L. 
Its  serpent  one  lies  ever  upon  the  ground.  There 
is  but  one  right  angle  of  vision  and  that  the  car- 
penter's L.  Every  free  mason  builder  uses  this  L, 
its  crescent  and  its  star.  The  nation  which  has 
killed  Lamech  will  not  use  this  L  in  its  understand- 
ing. Failing  to  we cf  the  two  of  the  law  to  the  One 
Law  it  cannot  build  the  square  born  of  two.  A 
union  of  two  in  lust  is  its  inheritance  in  all  its  dual 
relations.  The  one  who  has  killed  Lamech  is 
bound  in  body  and  brain  to  the  dual  positive-neg- 
ative union.  The  one  who  has  killed  Lamech  re- 
cords that  fact  in  the  blood.  The  degenerate  man 
and  nation  define  the  curse  of  Lamech. 

The  New  Testament  (when  we  arrive  at  under- 
standing of  "a  New  Testament  written  in  the 
blood  which  is  the  blood  of  regeneration),  will 
carry  this  law  Lamech  on  to  an  ascension,  which  is 
written  within  in  the  literal  basic  blood  of  human- 
ity. Body  and  brain  shall  then  be  the  two  wives  of 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  297 

Lamech  conceiving  One  whole, — One  triune  and 
squarely  sane,  gotten  of  the  Law. 

The  ascension  of  the  Lord  God  begins  in  Gen- 
esis. That  Genesis  is  flesh  and  blood  in  the  Acts 
of  regeneration,  Acts  manifest  in  Peter  and  Paul. 
The  Bible  is  a  table  of  ascension  in  the  flesh  of 
man.  It  belongs  to  Life  and  the  natural  human 
blood  of  life.  It  is  a  table  of  calculation,  weighing 
and  measuring  the  law  in  a  way  marked  for  ascen- 
sion. When  Man  and  nation  begin  to  desire  the 
One  law  in  body  and  brain  and  blood  he  will  need 
understanding  of  the  Seven-sensed  Lamech,  to 
wed  flesh  and  blood  to  the  law  of  ascension.  When 
the  nation  brings  regeneration  down  to  manifes- 
tation in  the  flesh  it  needs  the  law  Lamech,  for 
here  at  this  place  revelation  begins,  and  is  finished 
in  the  Acts  of  the  law  of  this  place.  If  the  blood 
of  the  nation  is  beyond  healing  it  has  failed  to 
write  its  manhood  and  womanhood  as  the  two 
wives  of  Lamech,  negative  to  the  One  high  over 
all. 

At  six  in  the  one  measure  reaching  to  Nine,  or 
from  A  to  I,  intelligence  will  set  up  watchmen  to 
guard  the  limit.  Again  turning  to  the  Ecclesias- 
ticus  of  the  Apocrypha  we  are  taught:  "For  a 
man's  mind  is  sometimes  wont  to  tell  him  more  than 
seven  watchmen,  that  sit  above  in  an  high  place." 
It  is  the  eye  with  seven  stones  that  perceives  the 
stone  with  seven  eyes. 

Now  this  place  seven  and  its  law  is  clearly 
defined  in  the  biblical  record  of  nature.  A  biblical 


298  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

record  is  a  record  of  holy  trinity,  not  a  record  of 
evolution,  but  also  of  involution  declaring  two 
manifesting  the  one  body  of  the  Law.  The  bibli- 
cal record  brings  the  dual  record  of  the  Scriptures 
into  the  triune  body.  The  biblical  record  is  ever 
a  key  to  national  scriptures. 

The  stone  Seven  weds  two  to  and  in  the  law. 
This  stone  will  wed  the  dual  H.  It  will  not  only 
wed  H  or  the  last  note  of  the  octave  of  common  see, 
but  will  wed  the  one  within  this  H,  bringing  forth 
I  from  H.  The  seven,  wedding  two  to  the  law  will 
rest  the  new  ascension  upon  a  normal  generative 
triune  square  basis.  This  seven  stone  will  be  the 
stone  Lamech,  carrying  one  from  A  to  H  through 
H,  following  the  whole  law  from  A  to  Z.  The 
word  born  in  this  place,  under  the  law,  will  neces- 
sarily be  the  word  ADAH  and  ZILLAH.  If  this 
word  could  be  destroyed  it  would  necessarily  be 
restored  by  discovery,  for  interpretation. 

Lamech  will  ever  be  the  word  of  the  law  at  seven. 
Lamech  will  be  the  stone  with  Seven  eyes,  declar- 
ing One  manifest  in  One.  Lamech  is  the  new  name 
of  the  Sabbath  where  two  approach  the  square 
temple,  declaring  one  four  square  lifting  a  cen- 
tral soul.  The  whole  word  of  ascension  is  pushed 
into  this  word  Lamech.  Here  your  third  principle 
is  placed  before  your  first  to  keep  the  fast  with  the 
fourth  and  Fifth  one,  arriving  again  at  the  third 
in  H,  to  declare  the  whole  one  to  be  I. 

A  most  distinguished  Doctor  of  Divinity  said, 
in  the  city  of  Boston,  before  a  great  gathering  of 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  299 

teachers  and  preachers:  "Polygamy  is  first  men- 
tioned in  the  Bible  when  Lamech  takes  two  wives 
Adah  and  Zillah."  Why  tarry,  O  World,  at  the 
pool  of  Bethesda,  sick,  blind,  lame,  with  the  curse 
of  Lamech  in  the  blood  of  understanding?  Take 
up  thy  bed  and  walk.  And  the  man  was  made 
whole,  and  on  the  same  day  was  the  Sabbath. ' 

Here  at  Lamech  is  given,  if  we  are  to  know  and 
follow  the  one  way,  understanding  of  that  dimen- 
sion which  is  formed  when  two  are  wedded  to,  and 
in  the  law,  the  dimension  which  is  the  woman.  The 
woman  is  formed  for  the  ascension,  yet  was  ever 
formed:  a  dimension  which  is  and  yet  is  not,  and 
ever  shall  be,  a  dimension  which  must  be  related  to 
the  body  of  the  rising  Law. 

The  people  are  reaching  today  for  the  royal 
purple  with  which  law  clothes  the  King.  That 
in  which  the  figure-head  is  wrapped  shall  wrap  now 
the  understanding  of  the  people.  Today  the  peo- 
ple claim  their  kingship  to  wear  that  purple  which 
is  born  of  the  balance  of  the  red  and  the  blue  to  be 
the  royal  robe  of  the  Law.  The  purple,  not  the 
original  red,  shall  reign.  The  killing  of  the  orig- 
inal Red  Man  is  the  problem  of  America  reaching 
through  to  infinity.  The  reign  of  the  Red  Man 
is  today  at  the  finish. 

"And  the  High  Priest  knew  Mary  that  she  was 
of  the  tribe  of  David;  and  he  called  her,  and  the 
true  purple  fell  to  her  lot  to  spin.  And  from  that 
day  Zacharias  the  High  Priest  became  dumb,  and 
Samuel  was  placed  in  the  room  till  Zacharias  spoke 


300  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

again.  But  Mary  took  the  true  purple  and  did 
spin  it."  (New  Testament  Apocrypha.) 

When  our  Revelation  shall  become  our  Genesis 
we  need  the  Law  Lamech  manifest  in  the  flesh. 
Lamech  will  be  the  last  note  of  physical  expansion. 
He  covers  the  whole  sky  of  ascension.  As  a  sense 
law  he  will  wed  the  flesh  and  the  blood  to  the 
ascending  one.  As  a  sense  guide  he  will  be  the 
sense  of  smell,  the  last  developed  in  spiritual  as 
well  as  physical  childhood.  Wedding  the  eternal 
two  he  will  make  the  Law  a  sweet  smelling  savour 
in  the  dual  nostrils  of  understanding.  "For  we  are 
unto  God  a  sweet  smelling  savour  of  Christ,  in  them 
that  are  saved  and  in  them  that  perish :  To  the  one 
we  are  the  savour  of  death  unto  death :  and  to  the 
other  the  savour  of  life  unto  life.  And  who  is  suf- 
ficient for  these  things?  For  we  are  not  as  many, 
which  corrupt  the  word  of  God :  but  in  all  sincerity, 
but  of  God,  in  the  sight  of  God  speak  we  in 
Christ." 

The  Law  Lamech  cannot  be  given  to  a  nation 
which  has  killed  Lamech.  Those  who  have  slain 
Lamech  are  found,  in  the  record  of  John,  at  the 
pool  which  is  Bethesda,  sick,  lame,  blind,  diseased 
in  blood,  waiting  "for  some  one  to  put  me  in."  To 
these  today  comes  the  question  of  the  regenerative 
One,  "Wilt  thou  be  made  whole?" 

He  who  kills  Cain  is  avenged  by  nature  seventy- 
fold.  He  who  kills  Lamech  shall  be  avenged  seven- 
ty-and  seven-fold;  he  has  killed  his  own  regerena- 
tion.  He  has  killed  the  law  of  his  ascension.  We 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  301 

find  the  Logos  of  this  word  Lamech  to  be  Six.  Here 
is  the  physical  expansion  of  creation ;  here  the  law 
of  the  Seventh.  Lamech  has  wedded  the  whole  phy- 
sical even  generative  expansion  to  the  regenera- 
tion. Here  Gabriel  is  sent  from  God  in  the  sixth 
month,  unto  a  city  of  Galilee,"  named,  by  the  eter- 
nal law,  Nazareth."  Here  Gabriel  salutes  the 
woman,  "Hail,  Mary!  blessed  art  thou  among 
women.  And  behold  thou  shalt  conceive  in  thy 
womb,  and  bring  forth  a  son,  and  shall  call  his 
name  Jesus.  He  shall  be  great,  and  shall  be  called 
the  Son  of  the  Highest;  and  the  Lord  God  shall 
give  unto  him  the  throne  of  his  father  David. 
And  he  shall  reign  over  the  house  of  Jacob  for- 
ever ;  and  of  his  kingdom  there  shall  be  no  end.  .  . 
How  shall  this  be,  seeing  I  know  not  a  man?" 

"The  Holy  Ghost  shall  come  unto  thee,  and  the 
power  of  the  Highest  shall  overshadow  thee :  there- 
fore, also,  that  holy  thing  which  shall  be  born  of 
thee  shall  be  called  the  Son  of  God." 

In  understanding  of  the  law  Lamech  the  womb, 
the  sacred  square  womb  of  the  regeneration  is 
formed,  to  declare,  "My  soul  doth  magnify  the 
Lord." 


The  first  creative  day  is  an  age  of  fire  which 
ignores  the  day  following  which  brings  water 
to  battle  with  fire  that  the  solid  rock  of  life 
may  appear  upon  which  Law  builds.  Youth  is  ever 
a  fire  age.  Over  against  the  fires  of  youth  life 


302  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

writes  for  itself  tears  of  repentance,  that  it  may  be 
fulfilled. 

The  problem  of  creation  is  not  the  problem  of 
the  dominance  of  either  fire  or  water.  The  prob- 
lem of  creation  is  the  problem  of  the  balance  of 
heat  and  moisture.  The  birth  of  man  falls  not 
until  the  Lord  God  breathes  into  his  nostrils,  sub- 
duing the  fires  of  primitive  man.  The  world  we 
know  is  young.  The  nation  we  know  is  young. 
Man  has  not  yet  sinned.  Today  we  are  babes  in 
Christ  without  sin  returned  to  the  Father's  house. 
Of  the  fires  of  youth  and  the  tears  of  repentance 
we  are  born  Man,  the  Son  of  God.  "In  the  like- 
ness of  God  made  he  him;  male  and  female  cre- 
ated he  them,  and  called  their  name  Adam,  in  the 
day  when  they  were  created"  in  the  first  verse  of 
the  Fifth  Chapter  of  the  Genesis  of  Revelation. 

And  here  we  take  the  city  which  is  first  and  last. 
And  AI  taken  the  sun  goes  no  more  down.  The 
square  is  won. 

"Wherefore  when  he  cometh  into  the  world,  he 
saith  sacrifice  and  offering  thou  wouldst  not,  but 
a  body  hast  thou  prepared  for  me:  In  burnt  offer- 
ing and  sacrifice,  for  sin  thou  hast  no  pleasure." 

The  preparation  of  the  body  of  the  law  is  the 
only  responsibility  assumed  by  man. 

"And  they  shall  bring  the  glory  and  honor  of 
the  nations  into  it." 

"And  Lamech  took  unto  him  two  wives :  the  name 
of  the  one  was  Adah,  and  the  name  of  the  other 
Zillah. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  303 

"And  Adah  bare  Jabal;  he  was  the  father 
of  such  as  dwell  in  tents,  and  of  such  as  have  cattle. 

"And  his  brother's  name  was  Jubal:  he  was  the 
father  of  all  such  as  handle  the  harp  and  organ. 
(O  Harp  of  a  thousand  strings.) 

"And  Lamech  lived  after  he  begat  Noah. 

"And  Noah  begat  Shem,  Ham  and  Japhet. 
And  God  shall  enlarge  Japhet." 


BOOK    III 
THE  HOUSE  PETER 

"  When  I  brake  the  five  loaves  among  five  thou- 
sand, how  many  baskets  full  of  fragments  took  ye 
up?  They  say  unto  him,  Twelve. 

"  And  when  the  seven  among  four  thousand,  how 
many  baskets  full  of  fragments  took  ye  up?  And 
they  said,  Seven.  And  he  said  unto  them,  How  is 
it  that  ye  do  not  understand  ?  " 


CHAPTER  I 

THE  APOSTOLIC   SUCCESSION  FROM   01 
TO  10 

"  Whereupon,  O  king  Agrippa,  I  was  not  disobe- 
dient unto  the  heavenly  vision." 

The  biblical  natural  word  gives  a  writing  of  na- 
ture's two  epistles  as  the  first  and  the  second  Epis- 
tle of  Peter.  The  First  is  written  by  Peter,  the 
Second  by  Simon  Peter.  The  First  is  written  to 
strangers,  the  Second  to  those  who  have  attained 
unto  knowledge.  The  First  Epistle  of  Peter  in  all 
nature  will  be  generative,  covering  the  successions 
of  evolution  from  one  to  seven.  The  Second  Epis- 
tle will  be  related  to  the  square  regeneration  de- 
fined by  the  law  Lamech.  With  these  facts  in  mind 
the  law  Peter  becomes  the  rock  of  understanding. 
The  original  Pope  of  nature  is  the  generative  law 
which,  at  the  place  seven,  weds  two  unto  the  Law, 
beheading  the  generative  Peter  for  the  Second 
Epistle  of  Peter  written  by  Simon  Peter  that 
Simon-bar- jona  may  be  seen 

In  the  area  from  Seven  to  Nine  lies  the  fisher- 
man's ring  which  is  squared  by  the  law  Lamech 
To  lose  this  ring  is  to  be  imprisoned  in  the  genera- 
tive, or  physical  expansion,  divorced  from  "the 
Sabbath  day's  journey"  from  seven  to  nine  where 
lies  the  temporal  possession  of  the  triune  spiritual 
law  Simon-bar- jona. 

307 


308  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

The  fisherman's  ring  is  the  Galilean  circle.  He 
who  has  lost  this  ring  cannot  square  the  circle  to 
inherit  the  increase  of  stature  and  wisdom  which  is 
given  at  Twelve.  Apostolic  Succession,  to  be  a  de- 
scent from  one  high,  must  begin  at  the  one  square 
Twelve  handed  down  from  the  holy  city  which  is 
"the  mother  of  us  all."  Apostolic  succession  is  a 
nature  fact  of  regeneration.  This  succession  un- 
der the  eye  of  the  whole  law  will  not  be  evolution 
alone,  but  involution  writing  in  itself  the  natural 
letter  of  first  epistle  and  of  second  to  be  one  and  a 
second  marvel  instantly  to  the  eye  of  the  holy  see. 

The  whole  biblical  record  is  a  Pentecostal  record 
gathering  all  ascent  and  descent  into  one  place 
which  is  the  place  of  high  mass  where  all  voices 
know  the  voice  of  the  one  square  law.  This  Pen- 
tecostal place  is  the  place  Seven,  which  is  the  place 
of  the  law  Lamech,  who  weds  two.  The  first  Peter 
will  write  nothing  before  the  one  which  is  the  self. 
The  eye  of  the  first  Peter  is  "me."  This  Peter 
will  deny  before  the  cock  crow  thrice.  This  Peter 
will  lose  the  fisherman's  ring.  He  will  affirm  the 
square  and  deny  it.  He  will  cut  off  the  ear  of  an 
high  priest.  He  will  deny  natural  law  and  try 
himself  to  walk  upon  the  creative  waters.  He  will 
ever  create  the  self -center,  but  he  may  become  Si- 
mon Peter  and,  wedding  two  in  one  body  to  Law, 
see  the  Christ  to  become  Simon-bar-jona.  Peter 
is  the  physical  law.  All  physical  law  is  reflection 
from  above  of  the  one  whole  body  of  the  regenera- 
tive one  handed  down.  Peter  the  physical  law  is 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  309 

said  by  ancient  legend  to  be  head  downward  in 
death.  Peter  is  then  to  be  seen  as  reflection  of 
reality. 

The  New  Testament  of  Nature  is  a  testament  of 
the  Acts  of  the  regeneration  in  Peter  and  Paul. 
Peter  is  defined  only  by  Paul.  Peter  includes  Paul 
as  brain  includes  body.  The  vital  relation  of  the 
Acts  is  the  relation  of  Peter  to  Paul.  The  house 
Peter  is  the  House  Beautiful  not  to  be  seen  with- 
out Paul,  for  Paul  writes  Peter  the  first  in  fourth 
dimension,  or  John.  Paul  will  hold  Peter  to  the 
victory  of  Golgotha  manifest  in  the  body.  Paul  is 
the  illumined  brain  of  the  body  Peter.  Paul  has 
a  course  to  run  and  a  fight  to  win.  While  the 
awakening  brain  is  Paul  it  has  partial  understand- 
ing and  is  not  the  Christ  Head.  Paul  stays  close 
to  the  law  for  a  schoolmaster  and  friend.  Paul, 
the  first  fruits  of  illumination,  will  "be  crooked 
and  ugly,"  for  Paul  has  not  attained  unto  the 
resurrection,  though  striving  for  this  ascension  of 
the  body.  "If  by  any  means  I  might  attain  unto 
the  resurrection  of  the  dead,  not  as  though  I  had 
attained." 

Paul  will  hold  us  to  a  study  of  letters,  teaching 
us  not  to  be- ashamed  of  the  gospel.  Paul  is  ever 
seeking  to  manifest  the  resurrection  of  life  within 
his  own  body,  preaching  only  the  mystery  of  "the 
third  heaven"  and  the  ascension  of  the  fifth  prin- 
ciple of  the  square.  He  holds  the  understanding  in 
place  "until  John,"  the  fourth  dimension,  is  es- 
tablished as  the  first.  "After  that  faith  is  come 


310  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

we  are  no  longer  under  a  schoolmaster."  Paul's 
existence  depends  upon  that  which  is  received  by 
him  from  the  body  of  the  church  which  is  to  him 
the  CH-you  are-CH  first  and  last  which  he  hopes 
to  present  unto  God  in  Christ  "without  spot  or 
wrinkle."  Paul  is  seeking  to  light  the  Christ  tree, 
the  tree  man.  He  is  ever  the  illumination  manifest 
in  the  eye.  This  biblical  record  belongs,  not  to 
Peter  but  to  John,  who  tarries  "till  I  come."  John 
alone  through  Paul  lifts  up  the  Fifth  which  is  the 
Christ  principle  of  nature,  breaking  the  seven 
seals,  recording  the  descent  of  a  square  city  clothed 
with  the  glory  of  the  woman.  The  key  to  this 
biblical  record  is  given  to  none.  Who  claims  to 
hold  the  key  is  the  lie  of  life.  This  is  the  House 
of  God  and  "my  glory  will  I  not  give  to  another." 
Jesus  the  Light  is  the  Son  of  Nun.  Man  enters 
the  House  of  God  to  receive  the  Light  which  is  the 
light  of  the  House.  And  whosoever  will  may 
come.  "And  the  glory  of  the  Lord  came  into  the 
house  by  the  way  of  the  gate  whose  prospect  is 
toward  the  east.  So  the  spirit  took  me  up,  and 
brought  me  into  the  inner  court:  and  behold  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  house.  .  .  .  And  he  said 
unto  me,  Son  of  man,  the  place  of  my  throne,  and 
the  place  of  the  soles  of  my  feet,  where  I  will 
dwell  in  the  midst  of  the  children  of  Israel  forever, 
and  my  holy  name,  shall  the  house  of  Israel  no 
longer  defile,  neither  they  nor  their  kings,  by  their 
whoredom,  nor  by  the  carcases  of  their  kings  in 
their  high  places.  .  .

"And  it  shall  be  that  upon  the  eighth 
day,  an3  so  forward,  the  priests  shall  make  your 
burnt  offering  upon  the  altar,  and  your  peace  of- 
fering ;  and  I  will  accept  you,  saith  the  Lord  God." 

We  study  Paul  for  the  law  of  illumination  which 
belongeth  to  the  church  which  is  the  body  of  hu- 
manity. He  insists  upon  the  A  B  C  of  the  law 
"until  John."  Only  by  a  study  of  the  law  can  we 
hope  to  understand  that  devil  of  nature,  the  mag- 
netic fires  of  creation.  Paul,  the  illumination  of 
the  brain  by  the  resurrection  of  life  energy  to  the 
brain,  is  much  hindered  by  this  devil  and  his  Satan. 
"Wherefore  we  would  have  come  unto  you  once 
and  again,  but  Satan  hindered."  Paul  is  the  real- 
ity of  resurrection.  He  is  giving  birth  to 
Thought.  We  need  knowledge  of  Paul  today. 
Thought  is  the  Son  of  Man.  The  enemy  of 
thought  is  the  enemy  of  the  resurrection.  The 
magnetic  law  will  enthrone  its  magnetic  action  in 
the  brain  and  name  that  activity  Thought.  The 
brain  of  the  race,  at  the  advent  of  the  ether  law,  is 
to  send  out  the  man  from  that  brain  to,  in  a  virgin 
dimension,  give  birth  to  Thought.  Thought  is  de- 
fined not  by  mystery  and  affirmation — always  un- 
der the  to-and-fro  Satanic  motion — but  by  revela- 
tion of  the  creation  and  the  creative  law.  It  is  the 
business  of  an  intelligent  people  to  know  the  dif- 
ference between  magnetic  action  calling  itself 
Thought  and  Thought  the  Son  of  Man  only  be- 
gotten of  the  One  Law,  begetting  the  One  Law. 


312  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Mind  will  enthrone  the  affirmations  of  the  magnetic 
law  as  Thought.  Thought  is  the  healer  of  Life 
and  the  New  Testament  written  in  Paul-Peter  un- 
covers the  process  of  the  resurrection  of  life  from 
Golgotha  to  Golgotha. 

Let  us  then  hear  the  word  defining  Paul  as 
a  virgin  dimension  of  illumination  fearing  the  fall, 
begging  to  be  fed  by  the  church,  that  he  may  feed 
the  church.  The  body  is  named  the  Church,  not 
by  Paul  but  by  nature.  There  is  reason  for  this 
name.  Ecclesiasticism  having  appropriated  the 
name  must  fall  under  the  law  of  its  reality.  It  is 
solely  related  to  the  duality  which  must  be  joined, 
in  the  law.  Paul  writes  about  the  triune  duality 
manifest  in  the  brain,  the  seat  of  illumination. 
Paul  is  not  achievement  but  process.  All  under- 
standing of  the  New  Testament  written  in  the 
blood  of  humanity  lies  in  understanding  of  this 
virgin  Paul,  the  growing  principle  of  ascension, 
here  not  negative,  but  the  son.  Paul  passes 
through  shipwreck  to  lead  through  shipwreck,  and 
to  escape  by  the  law.  Natural  law  alone  can  dis- 
tinguish the  persecutions  of  Saul  from  the  illumin- 
ation of  Paul.  Timothy  is  still  a  more  positive 
expression  of  the  virgin  and  Timothy  is  set  at 
liberty  in  the  last  letter  to  the  Hebrews  from  Italy. 
Paul  plants,  and  Law  giveth  its  increase;  and  he 
waits  for  his  positive  expression  (his  son  Timothy) 
to  come  with  him  unto  the  Hebrew  forces  of  life 
and  Law.  And  Timothy?  Timothy  is  the  son  of 
Paul,  and  it  is  he  alone  who  may  write  and  read 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  313 

the  letter  to  the  Hebrews.  Not  until  this  letter  is 
written  to  the  Hebrew  forces  of  life  is  Timothy 
"set  at  liberty,"  arriving  at  the  one  epistle  of  St. 
James,  bringing  "greeting"  to  the  Twelve,  defin- 
ing the  dual  Peter  sainted  or  souled,  reaching  to 
the  three  letters  of  John,  the  second  of  which  is  to 
the  "elect  lady"  of  the  eternal  Law,  reaching  from 
the  square,  through  Jude,  its  Fifth  principle,  to 
the  song  of  the  Nine  upon  Mount  Sion,  having 
cast  the  whole  Net  of  Revelation  from  John  the 
imprisoned  one  to  John  of  revelation  unto  the 
seven  churches  of  the  triune  Law.  "And  Enoch 
also,  the  Seventh  from  Adam,  prophesied  of  these, 
saying,  Behold  the  Lord  cometh  with  Ten  Thou- 
sand of  his  saints."  .  .  .  "To  him  that  overcom- 
eth  will  I  give  to  eat  of  the  tree  of  life,  which  is  in 
the  midst  of  the  Paradise  of  God." 

Paul  writes  his  first  letter  to  the  Roman  and 
the  last  to  the  Hebrew  elements  of  nature.  These 
fourteen  letters  are  all  written  by  Paul.  The  sec- 
ond seventh  and  eighth  are  dual  rising  from  the 
Acts,  or  workings,  of  the  regeneration  in  Peter  and 
Paul.  These  letters  written  by  Paul  are  seen  to 
be  all  written  by  the  Law  in  Paul.  In  the  last  of 
the  Acts  Paul  in  his  course  has  arrived  at  "The 
three  taverns,"  seen  the  fifth  principle  of  the 
square,  "thanked  God  and  took  courage,"  lived  in 
his  own  hired  house  for  two  years,  preached  the 
One  kingdom  of  life,  no  man  forbidding  him,  and 
is  prepared  to  speak  to  the  Romans,  "For  I  long 
to  see  you,  that  I  may  impart  unto  you  some  spir- 


314  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

itual  gift,  to  the  end  that  ye  may  be  established," 
declaring  himself  before  them  "debtor  both  to  the 
Greeks,  and  to  the  Barbarians;  both  to  the  "wise  and 
to  the  unwise" 

Paul  is  striving  with  Peter  to  manifest  the  Law. 
Paul  insists  upon  the  divine  brain  center  and  Peter 
returns  naturally  to  the  ways  of  the  Gentile.  Peter 
is  held  in  place  only  by  Paul,  and  in  spite  of  Paul 
follows  afar  off.  Shipwrecks  and  imprisonment, 
with  feet  in  stocks,  lie  in  Paul's  pathway,  yet  his 
see  is  ever  the  illumined  see,  the  open  circle.  Paul 
will  not  close  the  circle,  his  way  is  universal.  The 
seed  O  is  to  him  the  open  C.  Through  this  C  a  Cup 
of  life  runneth  over,  as  he  walks  through  the  val- 
ley of  the  shadow  of  death  giving  birth  to  the  Son 
of  man,  only  begotten  of  the  virgin. 

Paul  will  have  us  know  that  he — though  a  ser- 
vant of  the  law — is  most  unlovely  in  first  appear- 
ance. This  is  a  large  fact  about  Paul, — a  fact  to 
be  remembered  today  in  all  that  has  been  cast  upon 
the  shores  of  understanding  in  the  mists  of  a  new 
morning.  We  are  yet  in  the  false  dawn  of  illumin- 
ation. Our  words  are  not  yet  realities  but  shadows 
of  coming  events.  Paul  will  have  us  know  when 
Timothy  has  arrived  to  set  us  free  with  his  own 
liberty,  defining  the  short  way  from  Sinai  to  Sion, 
through  James,  and  Peter  dual,  and  John  triune, 
to  Jude  the  square,  rising  at  once  to  that  revela- 
tion which  is  by  a  crystal  sea. 

The  Times  has  brought  its  light.  The  light 
is  seeking  voice.  All  voices  are  today  the  physical

THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  315 

voices  of  illumination.  Today  the  Scriptures  are 
being  read  in  a  synagogue  which  is  pillared  by  the 
people.  These  voices  are  the  voices  of  Paul  from 
out  the  imperfect,  unformed,  unresurrected  body 
of  Paul.  "Crooked,  low  stature" — not  rising  to 
the  ascended  triune  revelation  but  held  as  the  world 
is  held  by  a  dominant  mode  of  motion  from  the 
expression  of  the  resurrection  in  the  flesh :  "Crooked 
thighs," — not  standing  dual  and  square  under  a 
five-pointed  star — "Handsome  legs,  hollow  eyed, 
had  a  crooked  nose;  full  of  grace,  for  sometimes 
he  appeared  as  a  man,  sometimes  he  had  the  coun- 
tenance of  an  angel."  And  this  is  Paul,  for  whom 
we  watch  in  that  morning  of  illumination  which 
is  the  morning  of  interpretation.  It  is  our  busi- 
ness to  know  this  crooked  Paul  that  we  may  know 
the  ascended  Christ,  which  is  formed  in  you,  by 
the  preaching  of  Paul — who  is  "a  long  time 
preaching"  because  we  are  ever  that  young  man 
who  falls  from  the  "third  story"  fast  asleep. 

In  all  Paul's  course  we  are  dealing  at  once  and 
at  last  with  the  Acts  which  hang  the  Law  of  the 
cross  "upon  a  tree."  The  letters  of  Paul  are  not 
mystical  but  natural.  All  outflow  from  the  law 
seeking  to  control  Peter  through  Paul.  Paul 
brings  the  law  to  manifestation  in  the  tree  of  life 
which  is  man,  planting  the  Christ-Mass  of  creative 
life  in  the  brain.  Paul  is  the  law  of  sanity.  The 
Christ-Mass  must  ever  be  related  to  a  tree.  Man, 
to  the  ancients  who  preserved  for  us  the  law  mani- 
fest in  the  flesh,  was  the  Tree  of  Life.  To  the 


316  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

solar  plexus  he  measured  root  forces  of  a  tree  of 
which  the  spinal  column  was  the  trunk  in  which 
lay  a  silver  cord  of  life  leading  to  a  golden  bowl. 
In  the  brain  fell  the  branches  of  this  tree,  and  in 
the  branches  lay  normal  fruit.  Life  forces  were 
said  to  rise  in  this  tree  to  the  branches  which  bear 
fruit,  obeying  a  cross  of  dual  energy  at  the  earth's 
surface,  after  the  manner  of  all  trees.  And,  if 
there  was  no  such  rise,  man,  under  the  law  of  the 
tree,  was  doomed  to  death,  for  there  could  be  no 
spring  and  no  renewal  of  youth,  and  no  fruit  in 
upper  branches;  death  and  winter  reigned,  and 
man  died,  for  there  was  no  resurrection  of  the 
"sap"  which  flows  in  the  river  of  water  of  life 
to  feed  the  upper  branches  of  the  Law,  lying  in 
the  "upper  chamber"  of  Man's  being.  Once  when 
a  blind  man  of  ancient  writ  was  made  to  see,  and 
was  asked  by  a  Master  of  Life  what  he  saw,  he  re- 
plied, "I  see  men  as  trees  walking";  and  this  rec- 
ord has  been  handed  down  in  the  way  of  life  to  a 
new  century  of  new  thought,  a  healing  century 
bringing  a  Christmas  Tree,  which  men  may  see 
walking — 

"  O  power  divine  lend  thou  thyself  to  me 
So  that  the  shadow  of  the  blessed  realm 
Stamped  in  my  brain  I  can  make  manifest. 
Thou'lt  see  me  come  unto  thy  darling  Tree 
And  crown  myself  thereafter  with  those  leaves 
Of  which  the  theme  and  Thou  shall  make  worthy." 

And  this  is  the  translation  of  our  own  tongue, 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  S17 

by  our  own  poet  Longfellow  about  a  Divine  Com- 
edy written  by  Paul  from  Italy,  in  Timothy,  a  let- 
ter to  the  Hebrew  forces  of  the  Tree  of  Life  about 
a  square  city  which  is  above  within  the  circle  of 
earth  and  heaven.  The  cry  of  life  today  is  for  the 
preservation  of  the  Trees  of  Life,  trees  palm- 
leaved,  sacred  to  an  entry  into  Jerusalem.  .  .  . 

Men  and  nations  today  call  themselves  in  all  re- 
lation Christian.  Law,  illumining  the  brain,  calls 
them  Christians  at  a  place.  At  this  place  Paul  in 
all  ages  is  persecuted  and  his  word  unheeded,  yet 
here  it  is  that  Paul  is  called  to  apostleship — hav- 
ing drunk  of  the  spring  of  Daphne,  which  lies  at 
Antioch.  Here  all  men  and  all  nations  become 
Christians.  To  become  Christian  is  to  become  a 
follower  of  the  way  of  the  Law,  a  way  which  bring- 
eth  Peace  as  the  fruit  of  the  tree  of  life.  Men  and 
nations  enter  the  Way  at  Antioch  and  at  Antioch 
Paul  has  an  understanding  with  Peter,  withstand- 
ing him  here  "to  the  face,  because  he  was  to  be 
blamed."  Peter  is  the  first  dominant  of  the  dual 
union.  We  have  stated  that  Peter  is  the  body, 
which  we  rob  to  feed  the  brain.  This  is  a 
very  limited,  but  true,  definition,  in  a  discussion 
about  the  duality  brain  and  body.  Peter  is  the 
dominant  foundation  force  of  every  generative 
duality.  He  exists  from  Genesis  to  Revelation  to 
yield  up  his  life  to  the  Law.  He  is  the  force  writ- 
ten for  ascension.  He  is  the  generative  part  of 
the  regenerative  law.  He  is  the  male.  He  is  also 
Second  Peter  and  as  Simon-bar- jona  he  is  the  rock, 


318  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  triune,  physical — spiritual  consciousness  which 
recognizes  one  opposite  as  yielding  the  solid  foun- 
dation for  the  triune  body  of  creation.  From  him 
must  come  the  confession,  "Thou  art  the  Christ." 
Not  until  Peter  recognizes  the  Law  and  does  the 
law  is  life  founded  upon  its  triune  rock.  It  is  to 
Peter  the  physical,  elemental  one,  that  the  Christ 
Law  comes  for  recognition,  and  here  before  Peter 
the  Christ  opposite  now  waits  for  recognition  and 
definition. 

All  holy  see  begins  here.  "Whom  say  ye  that 
I  am?"  Upon  this  answer  all  evolutionary 
succession  rests.  Shall  the  rock  appear  in 
the  understanding  of  a  race?  Shall  the  phy- 
sical law  be  placed  in  the  line  of  ascension  ar- 
riving at  John  the  fourth  dimension.  Succession 
cannot  rise  beyond  John.  In  John  It  is  finished. 
John  the  fourth  becomes  the  first  foundation  till 
I  come.  Succession  reaches  only  from  A  to  I,  and 
in  the  fourth,  which  is  the  square,  I  is  born.  All 
that  which  has  been  personal  becomes  this  day  uni- 
versal. "And  lo,  I  come  quickly,"  and  my  reward 
is  with  me.  The  personal  is  not  to  be  beheaded  by 
a  standing  army.  We  have  entered  the  day  of 
realities.  That  which  is  not  universal  is  not  true. 
Ecclesiasticism  is  dead.  "And  whosoever  liveth 
and  believeth  in  me  shall  never  die.  Believest  thou 
this?"  Here  humanity  becomes  negative  unto  the 
Lord  of  life.  "She  sayeth  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord,  I 
believe  that  thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  the  God 
which  should  come  into  the  world.  And  when  she 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  319 

had  so  said,  she  went  her  way,  and  called  Mary  her 
sister  secretly  saying,  The  Master  is  come,  and 
calleth  for  thee.  And  as  soon  as  she  heard  that  she 
arose  and  quickly,  and  came  unto  him." 

If  we  will  remember  the  legend — and  the  legend 
is  the  law  pressed  into  diamond  shape — that  Peter 
is  crucified  head  downward  in  his  death,  we  shall  see 
facts  about  the  feet  of  Peter  to  lie  in  the  place 
which  belongs  to  the  head.  Remembering  this 
physical  inversion,  in  kissing  his  feet  we  will  ar- 
rive at  some  inner  revelations  of  understanding  in 
the  head.  Remembering  to  place  Peter  by  the  sea 
we  note  the  inverted  reflection  and  in  kissing  the 
"great  toe"  will  search  for  five  points  of  under- 
standing in  the  head  and  embrace  One.  Now  to 
embrace  the  square  we  kiss  its  Fifth  principle,  and 
this  kiss  is  the  basis  of  all  understanding  about 
Peter's  denial  and  Judas  betrayal  with  a  kiss. 
Now  whether  this  toe  which  is  kissed  is  the  first  or 
the  Fifth  is  a  vital  point,  for  we  are  seeking  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  "within  you"  and  want  to 
place  first  the  E,  or  Fifth  principle  of  the  square. 
In  entering  the  door  which  leads  to  Paradise  it  is 
vital  that  the  E,  or  woman  principle,  go  before  the 
first,  or  Adam  principle,  or  the  door  will  not  open ; 
so,  life  and  natural  law  set  Peter  to  guard  this 
doorway,  for  he  alone  knows  whether  you  have 
kissed  the  great  E,  or  Fifth  Principle  of  ascension 
which  lies  in  the  physical  understanding,  or  are 
seeking  to  enter  "some  other  way." 

Now  this  Peter  of  all  knowledge  who  bars  the 


320  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

way  into  Paradise  for  the  world  is  neither  Peter 
nor  Simon  Peter,  but  one  Simon-bar- jona,  he  who 
has  recognized  the  triune  body  of  manifestation  in 
the  flesh  as  the  Christ  the  Son  of  the  living  God, 
and  therefore  knows  the  way  in  the  sea  to  Nine, 
via  H,  a  way  of  holy  see.  Simon-bar-j<raa  has 
learned  this  way,  having  escaped  from  the  belly — 
or  the  great  self -center  of  the  magnetic  law — of 
the  fish  which  has  swallowed  the  world  today. 
Nations  and  men  escaping  this  fish  also  become 
Simon-bar- jona  keeping  the  way  of  Paradise 
wherein  reigns  Beatrice  the  Son  of  God.  "Yet  a 
little  while  and  ye  shall  see  me." 

All  nations  and  all  men  are  commanded  to  go  to 
Nine,  via  H.  For  there  is  no  entrance  to  the  I, 
or  Nine  of  law,  save  through  the  law  of  the  natural 
H.  Now  the  Logos  of  that  word  via  is  E.  'Tis 
the  E  way  which  leads  to  Nineve  li,  a  word 
which  in  Apocryphal  reading  becomes  Nineve. 
Physical  Peter  will  refuse  to  go  this  way  in  all 
ecclesiastical  and  political  activities.  He  is  then 
compelled  and  in  this  way  becomes  Simon-bar- jona, 
forever  more  recognizing  the  Lord  and  his  Christ 
in  the  flesh  of  life.  The  eternal  tendency  of  the 
primitive  magnetic  law  is  to  build  its  own  great 
central  self  into  the  creative  waters  of  life.  While 
commanded  to  seek  the  Nine  the  people  rush  into 
the  great  central  belly  of  the  magnetic  law.  And 
there  shall  no  sign  be  given  a  wicked  and  adulter- 
ous nation  save  the  sign  Jonas  "Why  is  it  that 
ye  cannot  discern  the  signs  of  the  Times  ?" 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Revelation  is  pressed  into  the  word.  The  word 
is  yet  only  a  witness  to  become  a  record  above. 
Man's  problem  of  knowing  is  to  push  the  word 
from  witness  to  record.  Revelation  is  under  the 
law  lying  in  the  midst  of  witness  and  record. 

Peter  is  ever  related  to  the  creative  waters  be- 
neath and  the  waters  above.  He  lies  in  the  Old 
Testament  which  cuts  off  the  original  one.  As 
Moses  he  is  drawn  up  out  of  the  water  by  a  daugh- 
ter of  the  house  of  Pharoah.  He  is  universal  law, 
not  personality,  yet  ever  is  personality  manifesting 
the  law.  Peter  must  be  related  in  all  translation 
to  the  See  for  his  sign  is  the  sign  pisces  and  the 
two  fishes  which  establish  creative  proportion  for 
the  Twelfth  house.  Peter  must  hold  the  fisher- 
man's ring  for  the  law  of  earth  and  heaven.  His 
relation  to  Jonah  and  Jonas  must  be  revealed  by 
that  holy  see  which  compasses  earth  and  heaven 
in  One  Law,  to  be  revealed  by  neither  Church  nor 
priest,  but  by  the  relativities  of  life  at  Golgotha. 
Now  the  way  to  Golgotha  is  a  "Via  Dolorosa"  of 
Fourteen  stations  under  the  dual  Seven  law.  Re- 
cognizing these  stations  the  return  from  Golgotha 
is  a  way  of  everlasting  life  and  peace.  The  world 
has  lost  the  fisherman's  ring ;  having  lost  this  Gal- 
ilean circle  it  has  imprisoned  itself  within  the  gen- 
erative plane,  refusing  the  "Sabbath  Day's 
Journey  "  from  Seven  to  Nine,  under  the  law 
Lamech.  The  See  must  hold  fast  the  ring  of 
Peter  which  through  a  central  principle  lifts  Peter 
unto  the  triune  body  of  life  opposite  the  Christ, 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

as  Simon-bar- jona.  This  ring  is  squared  by  its  E 
principle.  The  relation  of  this  ring  to  that  English 
king  who  sits  forever  at  a  round  table  set  for  26 
Knights,  each  having  sworn  allegience  to  the 
woman,  is  a  vital  relation  of  The  Lord's  Table 
where  Twelve  disciples  sit,  and  where  one  betrays. 

Sainted  Peter  holds  the  keys  and  stands  at  the 
door  of  Paradise ;  he  is  not  Paradise.  Peter  holds 
the  keys  of  revelation;  he  is  not  revelation.  In 
that  Fourth  dimension  which  is  the  Patmos  of  life 
where  the  Seven  seal  is  broken  Peter  has  yielded 
up  the  dual  keys  to  "One  like  unto  the  son  of  Man. 

.  he  that  liveth  and  was  dead;  and  behold,  I 
am  alive  forever  more,  Amen,  and  have  the  keys 
of  hell  and  of  death." 

Not  one  jot  of  the  law  can  fail.  Peter's  re- 
demption lies  in  Paul.  In  the  Hall  of  Justice 
Peter  is  seen  sitting  with  the  servants  denying  the 
body  of  the  Law.  In  this  Hall  the  Statemen  of 
life  sit,  to  know  and  define  Peter  unto  himself. 
Life  is  not  redeemed  by  religion  but  by  the  Logos 
of  religion,  the  Nine,  existing  for  interpretation. 

Peter,  the  external  generative  part,  will  add  and 
add  and  add  to  his  own  being.  His  sign  will  be  the 
sign  of  multiplication.  At  a  limit  he  dreams  in 
all  the  earth  of  temporal  possession  of  the  whole 
earth  and  its  heaven,  but  here  Paul  must  appear 
to  save  Peter  the  death  of  over-expension.  Only 
Paul,  in  any  age,  upon  any  plane  of  thought  or 
action,  can  stay  Peter,  holding  him  to  that  ser- 
vice of  the  Law  which  is  square.  Peter  will  dream 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  323 

of  universal  power,  and  will  cut  off  one  ear  of  the 
priests  of  the  law.  The  square  law  of  trinity  will 
not  be  defined  by  him.  Peter  will  cut  off  an  ear 
of  the  people,  and  naturally  deny  thrice  before 
the  cock  crow  that  twice  for  which  the  life  of 
regeneration  waits.  To  know  Peter  and  his  na- 
tural instict  of  denial  and  his  eternal  obligation  to 
feed  my  sheep,  is  to  know  the  way  of  life  and  to 
hold  the  key  of  Paradise. 

While  Peter  feeds  he  will  deny.  While  he 
denies  he  will  declare  the  word  of  revelation.  He 
is  all  revelation  by  contradiction.  His  head  is 
downward  while  it  is  up.  He  is  nothing  and  every- 
thing. He  is  negation  and  manifestation.  He  is 
a  universal  physical  force  to  be  met  upon  every 
plane.  At  the  limit  of  physical  expansion  he  is  the 
force  which  will  defeat  or  the  force  which  will  en- 
throne the  square  regeneration.  He  is  first  mas- 
culine and  positive.  He  is  physical  law  and  force 
for  transmutation  and  death  in  the  Law.  He  will 
plunge  the  world  into  darkness:  he  will  light  the 
hand  of  liberty.  Peter  is  a  Roman  fire,  original, 
masculine  energy  and  physical  force.  He  is  at 
work  today  building  protections  of  physical  force 
from  out  his  own  body  denying  the  body  of  the 
One  Law.  He  is  defined  by  Paul  only;  he  cannot 
define  himself.  For  Paul,  he  who  was  Saul,  the 
world  again  waits.  And  Saul  today  is  on  his  way 
to  Damascus  unto  the  house  of  anointing.  "And 
there  was  a  certain  disciple  at  Damascus  named 
Ananias;  .  .  and  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 


324  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Arise,  and  go  into  the  street  which  is  called 
Straight,  and  enquire  in  the  house  of  Judas  for 
one  Saul  of  Tarsus:  for  behold  he  prayeth.  .  he 
is  a  chosen  vessel  unto  me,  to  bear  my  name  before 
the  Gentiles,  and  kings,  and  the  children  of  Israel ; 
.  .  .And  Ananias  went  his  way,  and  entered  into 
the  house;  and  putting  his  hands  on  him  said, 
Brother  Saul,  the  Lord,  even  Jesus  hath  sent  me 
that  thou  mightest  receive  thy  sight,  and  be  filled 
with  the  Holy  Ghost.  And  immediately  there  fell 
from  his  eyes  as  it  had  been  scales" 

Now  in  the  dispute  between  Peter  and  Paul, 
Peter  will  ever  yield  to  Paul,  salth  the  law.  Paul 
is  stronger  than  Peter.  Peter  is  force:  Paul  is 
the  light  of  intelligence.  Peter  is  nevertheless  the 
first  dominant  Pope  of  physical  nature.  The  law 
"taketh  away  the  first  to  establish  the  second." 
Peter  naturally  sits  with  the  servants  to  deny. 
Man  has  physical  and  spiritual  senses.  Peter  sits 
by  a  fire  of  physical  sense.  Peter  and  Paul  are 
"two  distincts  division  none,"  as  body  and  brain 
are  two  distincts  division  none. 

Peter  sits  with  the  servants  in  Matthew,  Mark, 
Luke  and  John,  naturally  denying  the  One  Law, 
by  virtue  of  an  inherant  mode  of  motion.  In  the 
Acts  he  is  redeemed  by  Paul.  He  is  always  upon 
every  plane  of  activity  to  be  controlled.  He  is  the 
primitive  child  of  the  primitive  natural  law.  He 
will  reach  his  imaginary  authority  beyond  its  limit. 
Where  the  original  Peter  is  dominant  the  Law  will 
be  unrevealed  and  the  ages  dark.  Peter  will  ob- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  325 

scure  the  woman  and  deny  the  Triune  One.  He 
will  sit  with  the  servants  in  the  hall  of  justice  and 
deny  that  he  knows  the  Law  In  every  presence  of 
the  divine  One  he  sits  "warming  himself,"  ever 
warming  himself  at  the  magnetic  fires  of  life, 
ignoring,  denying,  the  heatless  universal  fire  of  the 
regeneration.  He  is  generative  and  positive  only, 
upon  every  plane;  in  all  his  manifestations  he  will 
claim  to  be  the  whole  physical  foundation.  In  deny- 
ing the  One  Law  he  will  claim  to  be  Peter  and 
Simon-bar- jona  as  well  as  Peter.  He  will  believe 
himself  to  be  the  Man,  The  Woman,  and  the  Law, 
the  triune  whole  representative  of  creation,  and  the 
only  basic  form  of  government  and  revelation.  His 
dominant  idea  will  be  generation.  A  birth  from 
the  side  of  Peter  is  the  hope  of  the  world  and  the 
one  hope  of  life  in  its  struggle  for  that  victory  of 
Law  which  is  victory  over  death.  When  Peter 
has  become  Simon-bar- jona  he  has  yielded  up  his 
personal  body  to  recognize  the  One  Law  as  King 
in  his  own  territory  and  the  territory  of  all. 

His  following  of  the  Law  is  afar  off.  "And 
Peter  followed  him  afar  off,  even  into  the  palace 
of  the  high  priest:  and  sat  with  the  servants  and 
warmed  himself."  "I  tell  thee,  Peter,  the  cock 
shall  not  crow  this  day,  before  thou  shalt  thrice 
deny  that  thou  knowest  me." 

When  the  Acts  of  the  regeneration  actually  ar- 
rive at  the  Ninth  chapter  of  the  life  of  Law,  we 
note  that  Peter — the  physical  law — is  the  hand  of 
resurrection  unto  the  woman.  "Now  there  was  at 


326  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Joppa,  a  certain  disciple  named  Tabitha  which  by 
interpretation  is  called  Dorcas.  .  .  It  came  to  pass 
in  those  days,  that  she  was  sick,  and  died:  whom, 
when  they  had  washed,  they  laid  Tier  in  an  upper 
chamber.  And  for  as  much  as  Lydda  was  nigh  to 
Joppa,  and  the  disciples  had  heard  that  Peter  was 
there,  they  sent  unto  him  two  men,  desiring  him 
that  he  would  not  delay  to  come  unto  them.  Then 
Peter  arose  and  went  with  them.  When  he  was 
come  they  brought  him  into  the  upper  chamber. 

Peter  put  them  all  forth,  and  kneeled 

downed,  and  prayed ;  and  turning  him  to  the  body 
said,  Tabitha  arise.  And  she  opened  her  eyes :  and 
when  she  saw  Peter,  she  sat  up.  And  he  gave  her 
his  hand,  and  lifted  her  up,.  .  .and  presented  her 
alive." 

This  whole  ninth  chapter  of  the  Acts  of  the 
regeneration  is  a  Ninth  chapter,  defining  the  Nine 
in  positive  unmistakable  terms  of  revelation.  It 
is  a  healing  chapter,  about  the  awakening  of  the 
woman  from  the  dead  in  and  by  the  Ninth  hour. 
The  woman  is  placed  by  the  law  in  the  house  of 
John.  Not  Peter  alone  establishes  the  awaken- 
ing :  John  with  Peter  defines  the  Nine.  The  whole 
law  of  the  woman  rests  in  our  understanding  upon 
the  Logos  of  the  words  Peter  and  John.  The 
woman  is  today  to  be  healed.  She  is  healed  by  the 
physical  Law.  Her  enfranchisement  from  the 
death  into  which  she  has  been  thrust  is  not  to  be  of 
men,  but  of  revelation  of  natural  law.  We  carry 
our  problem  first  to  the  upper  chamber  where  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  327 

bread  of  life  is  broken  by  the  law  for  the  disciples 
who  "propose  right  according  to  right."  The 
woman  will  lift  up  herself,  by  the  hand  of  Peter, 
and  by  no  other  hand.  Thus  only  is  Peter  lifted 
up. 

"Now  Peter  and  John  went  up  together  into  the 
temple  beautiful  at  the  hour  of  prayer,  being  the 
the  ninth  hour."  Here  the  Ninth  hour  is  denned  as 
Peter  and  John.  Now  Thought  has  preserved  for 
us  here  the  form  of  sound  words.  At  this  hour  of 
holy  see  the  crucifixion  is  ended  and  the  law  is  en- 
throned by  two.  Intelligence  waits  for  the  world 
to  enter  the  temple  which  is  called  beautiful  to 
accomplish  the  Nine,  not  with  Peter  alone  but  with 
Peter  and  John.  "And  a  certain  man  lame  from 
his  mother's  womb  was  carried,  whom  they  laid 
daily  at  the  gate  of  the  temple  which  is  called 
beautiful,  to  ask  alms  of  them  that  entered  into  the 
temple;  who  seeing  Peter  and  John  about  to  go 
into  the  temple  asked  alms.  And  Peter,  fastening 
his  eyes  upon  him  with  John,  said,  Look  on  us. 
....  In  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  of 
Nazareth  rise  up  and  walk.  And  he  took  him  by 
the  right  hand,  and  lifted  him  up :  and  immediately 
his  feet  and  ankle  bones  received  strength.  And 
he  leaping  up  stood,  and  walked,  and  entered  with 
them  into  the  temple,  walking  and  leaping  prais- 
ing God."  "And  as  the  lame  man  which  was  healed 
held  Peter  and  John,  all  the  people  ran  together 
unto  them  in  the  porch  that  is  called  Solomon's" 
"Tell  me,  ye  that  desire  to  be  under  the  law,  do  ye 
not  hear  the  law?" 


328  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Without  the  dual  keys  which  Law  puts  first 
in  the  hand  of  physical  Peter  we  have  no  approach 
to  the  throne  of  God  which  lieth  ever  in  Revelation 
in  the  midst  of  the  river  of  water  of  life.  Peter 
will  write  two  letters  only.  It  is  the  business  of 
intelligence  to  know  the  Pope  Peter  and  his 
epistles  for  these  will  be  ever  and  eternally  "bull" 
letters  under  the  law  of  the  bull's  eye.  Now  the 
bull's  eye  is  the  Fifth  principle  of  the  squared 
circle.  Who  sees  this  eye  may  declare  I  AM. 
Every  word  appropriated  by  ecclesiastical  Peter 
as  his  own  belongs  to  the  Triune  body  of  universal 
law.  In  every  train  of  thought  remember  that 
the  Law  has  a  passenger  aboard  which  humanity 
has  left  behind.  Every  Bull  issued  by  the  Pope 
of  nature  will  be  an  Irish  Bull,  born  of  the  law  of 
equal  opposites.  In  reading  the  Word  intelligence 
will  see  the  equal  opposite  statement  and  lift  up 
one  which  is  I.  Every  word  issuing  from  the  whole 
nature  law  may  be  greeted  with  Nine  Cheers.  In 
this  C  there  must  be  Seven  to  Hail  Mary;  one 
risen  from  the  See.  And  in  that  day  seven  shall 
claim  One.  The  Law  of  creation  has  evolved  the 
English  language  for  its  own  glory,  to  be  its  own 
interpreter.  It's  a  merry  word,  turning  sighing 
into  song. 

As  a  first  masculine  dimension  of  revelation  the 
biblical  record  is  a  word  of  tragedy.  As  a  Fourth 
all  tears  are  wiped  away.  Its  one  song  is  the  song 
of  an  hundred  and  forty  and  four  thousand;  its 
one  sign  is  the  sign  of  the  cross  born  in  a  center 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

between  opposites  forming  the  square  and  its 
circle.  Its  one  star  is  a  five  pointed  star.  Its  one 
wisdom  is  the  wisdom  of  three  seeking  One.  Its 
one  union  is  a  union  of  Heaven  and  earth  in  an 
Eleven  hour.  Its  one  river  is  a  circle  flowing  upon 
this  side  and  upon  that.  Its  one  fruit  is  triune 
fruit  gathering  the  midst  from  either  side  for 
the  healing  of  the  nations.  Its  one  day  is  nor  day 
nor  night  but  the  witching  time  of  the  even.  Its 
one  night  is  a  Twelfth  Night"  where  the  man  and 
the  woman  are  so  neither  that  we  have  simply 
What  You  Will.  .  Its  one  eye — and  the  only  one  by 
which  it  is  ever  to  be  read — is  the  hundred  eyes  of 
Argus,  who  uses  two  at  once  with  the  strength  of 
10  in  Two — and  still  has  forty  left  for  the  One 
Law  in  each  eye,  by  which  to  search  that  which 
therein  is  remembering,  always  remembering,  to 
take  the  mythical  regenerative  "forty  winks" — 
with  the  Nine  points  of  the  Law  in  each  wink — to 
arrive,  in  the  beginning,  in  the  midst  of  a  circle 
of  360  degrees,  a  full  fledged  Knight  of  a  Round 
Table  and,  having  kept  the  vow  of  allegience  to 
the  woman,  a  member  of  King  Arthur's  Court. 
"Why  then,  methwks  'tis  time  to  smile  again,  0 
World." 


CHAPTER  II 
THE  KEY  OF  DAVID 

"  These  things  saith  he  that  is  holy,  he  that  is  true, 
he  that  hath  the  key  of  David,  he  that  openeth,  and 
no  man  shutteth:  and  shutteth,  and  no  man  openeth." 

— Revelation  3,  7. 

"Whom  say  ye  that  I  am?  And  Simon  Peter  an- 
swered and  said  unto  him,  Thou  art  the  Christ,  the 
Son  of  the  living  God.  Blessed  art  thou  Sinmon-bar- 
jona:  for  flesh  and  blood  hath  not  revealed  it  unto 
thee,  but  my  Father  in  heaven.  And  I  say  also  unto 
thee,  that  thou  art  Peter,  and  upon  this  rock  will  I 
build  my  church.  .  .  .  He  turned  and  said  unto  Pe- 
ter, Get  thee  behind  me  Satan :  for  thou  art  an  offence 
unto  me:  for  thou  savorest  not  the  things  that  be  of 
God,  but  those  that  be  of  men." 

Peter  is  the  first  dimension.  Simon-bar- jona  is 
the  third  in  the  midst  of  two  standing  opposite  the 
Christ  with  the  reflection  of  the  triune  body  upon 
him.  "And  I  say  also  unto  thee,  that  thou  art 
Peter."  .... 

"And  He  shall  give  his  angels  charge  lest 
thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone."  Without 
the  angels  of  the  fourth  dimension  guard- 
ing the  understanding  the  word  is  hopelessly  con- 
fused by  the  external  part  which  is  a  witness  on 
earth  and  not  a  record  of  heaven  until  the  heave 
offering  which  externalizes  the  Nine  of  the  square 
is  made. 

The  Fourth  dimension  is  dependent  upon  the 
third  for  its  form.  Peter  is  the  first  physical  dim- 
330 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  331 

ension  which  betrays.  The  fourth  becomes  the 
first  and  "I  say  also  unto  thee,  that  thou  art 
Peter." 

The  fourth  dimension  as  the  first  is  therefore 
subject  to  the  temptation.  Neither  Matthew  nor 
John  will  record  the  ascension.  "Lord,  which  is 
he  that  betrayed  thee?"  As  the  first  may  fail  to 
lift  up  the  third,  the  fourth  may  fail  to  lift  up  the 
Fifth. 

The  problem  of  John  the  fourth  is  the  problem 
of  sustaining  the  square.  The  problem  of  Mat- 
thew the  first  dimension  is  ever  the  problem  of 
seeing  the  resurrection  of  the  law. 

Peter  and  Paul  begin  the  problem  of  sustain- 
ing the  body  of  the  Law  upon  the  earth.  Peter 
has  the  keys,  which  he  keeps  by  yielding  up. 
The  duality  is  the  rock  upon  which  the  triune 
body  is  builded  to  sustain  the  square,  which  is 
One.  As  one  it  is  Peter  under  the  law  of  denial. 
This  Peter  becomes  Satan  unless  he  adds  to  the 
dual  key  the  one  key  of  the  house  of  David,  the 
Nine,  or  the  whole  pryamid  of  Law.  Ecclesias- 
ticism  has  covered  the  revelation  of  this  biblical 
rock  with  personality.  A  scientific  age  will  bind 
personality  on  earth  and  set  free  the  Law  to  rise 
again.  "And  as  they  came  down  from  the  mountain 
he  charged  them,  Tell  the  vision  to  no  man  until 
the  Son  of  man  be  risen  again  from  the  dead." 

The  Law  alone  giveth  understanding.  Peter 
does  not  want  understanding  and  without  under- 
standing faith  is  unwhole.  In  Matthew,  only  in 


332  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Matthew  will  Peter  seek  to  walk  the  creative  waters 
by  faith  alone.  A  mode  of  motion  of  a  natural 
law  has  given  Peter  the  will  to,  through  all  the 
Christian  ages,  fight  the  understanding  which  is 
born  of  scientific  discovery.  Peter  asks  no  washing 
of  the  feet.  "Peter  saith  unto  him,  Thou  shalt 
never  wash  my  feet.  //  /  wash  thee  not,  thou  hast 
no  part  with  me.  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  him,  Lord 
not  my  feet  alone,  but  also  my  hands  and  my 
head." 

The  biblical  record  is  a  word  of  square-opposite- 
literal  truth.  Peter  is  a  stranger  to  nature.  Si- 
mon Peter  writes,  "Unto  you  through  knowledge 
of  God,  and  of  Jesus  our  God." 

Is  the  Roman  Church  Peter?  Every  Matthew 
or  fire  dimension  of  life  is  Peter,  seeing  the  res- 
urrection but  not  the  physical  ascension,  bound  to 
one  side  of  the  ship,  casting  not  the  net  upon  the 
right  side  "till  John."  Government  also  is  Peter, 
the  bodies  of  men  and  the  bodies  of  women  are  the 
bodies  Peter.  "And  whom  say  ye  that  I  am? 
And  Simon  Peter  answered."  For  the  answer  of 
Simon  Peter  the  world  waits  that  it  may  hear, 
"Blessed  art  thou  Simon-bar- jona." 

Peter,  the  first  "elder"  physical  dimension,  will 
cross  the  keys  of  physical  life  so,  forming  X. 
(This  X  falls  in  24  place  in  the  English  alpha- 
bet.) Simon-bar- jona  will  cross  the  dual  sticks 
of  nature  forming  the  bridge  H,  entering  the 
House  of  David — he  who  centers — where  one  is 
forever  upon  the  throne  of  Law.  The  Peter  keys 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  333 

must  lie  within  the  key  of  David.  The  One  key 
is  related  to  the  dual  keys  of  Peter,  yet  is  not  the 
keys  of  Peter.  The  crown  of  that  word-key  is  K. 
The  English  law  of  fourth  dimension  writes  this 
K  in  the  even  place  (II)  formed  of  two  equal  ones. 
This  place  will  declare  its  dual  relation  to  be 
Eleven.  The  Third  principle  and  the  Fifth  are 
here  united  as  the  EL  of  the  scale  of  English  law. 

The  Eleven  will  declare  the  law  of  the  EVEN : 
its  sign  is  II.  In  the  Eleventh  place  we  find  sal- 
vation and  light.  Here,  out  of  these  two  sticks  of 
life,  we  build  our  H,  passing  to  HEAVEN,  or  we 
cross  the  Styx  thus,  X,  passing  to  death — by  way 
of  a  C.  When  we  "marry"  our  words  to  law  we 
remain  ever  upon  earth  to  ascend  to  heaven. 

We  are  given  understanding  of  the  law  of 
Peter's  cross  by  the  Logos  of  the  word.  Within 
the  word  Peter,  as  the  dominant  one,  lies  the  figure 
One.  The  sign  of  this  figure  is  I.  To  see  this  fig- 
ure as  Nine  is  to  be  forever  with  the  Lord.  In 
kissing  St.  Peter's  feet  we  remember  that  in  death 
and  life  he  is  head  downward  and  thus  we  see  the 
equality  of  feet  and  head  in  his  figure  I.  Peter 
is  logically  given  the  triune  crown.  This  one  is 
the  first  one  lifted  up  to  the  gate  of  Paradise  where 
10  is  the  first  number.  This  Nine  is  the  key  David, 
which  openeth  that  which  can  ne'er  be  shut.  [In 
this  work  we  beg  the  reader  to  remember  with 
kindly  criticism  that  we  are  writing  that  which 
cannot  be  written,  for  the  word  is  round  and 


334  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

square  in  heaven  and  a  perfectly  flat  image  upon 
earth.  It  is  a  witness  of  an  heavenly  record  which 
dwells  with  the  Law  within.  The  writing  of  the 
Law  has  been  given  only  to  the  artist,  the  nature 
mystic.  To  write  the  law  in  English,  or  in  the 
word  of  understanding,  we  believe,  has  been  held 
as  treason.  Today  we  go  in  unto  the  king,  though 
not  according  to  the  law,  believing  in  the  Refor- 
mation and  its  Fourth  and  last  day,  believing  in 
the  right  of  the  people  to  enter  "the  utter  court" 
of  the  wheel  of  life  with  the  angel  who  holds  a 
measuring  rod  for  earth  as  well  as  heaven  in  the 
waters  beneath  the  earth.  "And,  brethren,  I  count 
not  myself  to  have  apprehended :  but  this  one  thing 
I  do,  forgetting  those  things  which  are  behind, 
and  reaching  forth  unto  those  things  which  are 
before." 

We  bring  you  only  an  honest  attempt,  not  an 
achievement, — the  blossoming,  not  the  fruit,  of  the 
Law.  We  have  but  seated  ourselves  in  the  lowest 
room  of  understanding,  holding  the  mind  to  the 
physical  relativity  from  the  ground,  to  arise  with 
the  Third,  and  observe  the  resurrection  of  the 
Eighth  day  with  gladness.  "And  when  thou  art 
bidden  go  and  sit  down  in  the  lowest  room;  and 
when  he  that  bade  thee  cometh,  he  may  say  unto 
thee,  Friend,  go  up  higher."] 

To  the  even  we  come  for  light.  The  study  of 
that  word  EVEN  is  life  giving.  Its  derivation  is 
from  heaven  and  its  stars.  This  word,  being  the 
even  tide,  is  also  the  break  of  day.  It  is  the  last 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  335 

and  first  Heave  Offering  to  be  made.  It  is  the  na- 
ture EVE.  In  it  is  the  cock  crow.  It  is  formed  of 
the  Fifth  principles  of  the  English  alphabet.  It  is 
the  E  of  the  fifth  place,  the  E  of  the  14th  place, 
the  V  of  the  22nd  and  23d  places.  It  writes  the 
Fifth  principle  three  times  within  itself,  and  holds 
the  fast  of  the  4th.  Its  V  is  a  construction  of  the 
double  V  of  life.  It  is  the  Fifth  principled  word. 
It  is  the  soul  of  Heaven  and,  adding  to  itself  the 
HA  law,  it  is  HEAVEN.  This  word  is  closely  re- 
lated to  Peter  and  the  cock  crow,  thrice  denied.  In 
denial  of  this  word  lieth  the  denial  of  Peter.  This 
is  more  clearly  seen  when  we  note  the  cock  is  it- 
self the  E  principle;  its  Logos  is  Five.  (The 
Logos  exists  ever  for  the  Heave  Offering  of  the 
word. ) 

All  this  belongs  to  understanding  of  the  law 
Peter  who  automatically  will  deny  at  this  cock 
crew. 

English  law  has  here  written  the  English  word 
of  straight-square-round-relativity.  English  is 
traced  to  its  nativity  in  the  Law  and  this  "nativity 
is  enough."  The  English  language  is  the  whole 
square,  recording  the  Word  in  earth  as  witness  and 
in  heaven  as  record.  The  St.  James  word  is  The 
Word.  The  English  language  cannot  be  taken 
from  the  Court  of  St.  James.  The  English  lan- 
guage is  the  whole  Net  of  the  Law.  It  lands  the 
hundred  and  fifty  and  three,  and  keeps  the  Court 
preserving  the  Nine.  The  English  language  of 
nature  enthrones  the  E  principle  of  the  H  law, 


336  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

first  and  last,  as  the  third  principle  of  the  midst: 
it  is  the  language  of  Fourth  dimension  which  lifts 
up  the  E  principle  over  all  the  world;  a  principle 
which  gives  birth  to  one  from  its  midst  to  be  one 
which  is  I,  and  this  nine  has  here  risen  from  the 
first  one  (I),  which  is  A.  America  reaches  from 
A  to  A  in  nature  to  take  the  city  AI  of  her  nativity. 
And  God  made  the  place  for  the  people,  and  they 
shall  partake  of  the  glory  of  the  place.  America 
covers  the  whole  area  of  ascension  from  A  below 
to  the  first  one  above,  which  in  an  order  of  ascen- 
sion must  be  one  which  is  one  (I).  AmericA  is 
the  ark  of  the  law  builded  upon  the  dual  mountains 
of  ARARAT.  She  possesses  the  Law.  Shall  Law 
now  possess  her,  for  its  ascension? 

Within  every  Ark  of  the  law  will  be  found  the 
one  Covenant.  And  there  was  nothing  in  the  Ark 
save  the  two  tables  of  stone.  In  the  Revelation 
which  must  fall  ever  at  11.19  "the  temple  of  God 
is  opened,  in  heaven  and  there  was  seen  in  his  tem- 
ple the  ark  of  his  testament ;  and  there  was  light- 
ning, and  voices,  and  thunderings  and  earth- 
quake, and  great  hail,"  and  at  Twelve  "there 
appeared  a  great  wonder  in  the  heavens." 

The  English  language  is  the  Fourth  dimension 
of  every  one  over  and  in  all,  but  the  last  con- 
quered under  the  law  of  the  Fourth,  as  the  air  is 
the  first  yet  the  last  conquered  one  of  the  elements. 
The  Fourth  is  ever  the  last  part.  So  Dante  says 
of  Beatrice,  "In  the  Fourth  and  last  part  of  her 
life." 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  337 

On  entering  this  Fourth  dimension  the  one  mes- 
sage of  life  is,  "And  I  say  also  wnto  thee  thou  art 
Peter,"  subject  to  the  wiles  of  Satan.  "And  the 
Lord  said,  Simon,  Simon,  behold,  Satan  hath  de- 
sired to  have  you,  that  he  may  sift  you  as  wheat. 
But  I  have  prayed  for  thee.  .  .  .  When  thou  wast 
young,  thou  girdest  thyself,  and  walkest  whither 
thou  wouldst:  but  when  thou  shalt  be  old,  thou 
shalt  stretch  forth  thy  hands,  and  another  shall 
gird  thee,  and  carry  thee  whither  thou  wouldst 
not." 

The  English  language  is  the  interpreter  of 
Law;  it  is  not  the  personal  Egyptian  tongue.  It 
is  a  witness  in  earth  of  a  record  in  heaven  to  bring 
the  earth  and  the  heaven  squarely  together  as  an 
ascent  and  a  descent.  It  is  the  AlleluiA  of  revela- 
tion. It  is  the  healing  word.  "For  it  was  neither 
Herb,  nor  mollofying  plaster,  that  restored  them 
to  health ;  but  thy  word,  O  Lord,  which  healeth  all 
things." 

Now  the  city  AI  to  be  taken  by  the  word  reaches 
from  one  below  to  one  above,  which  one  is  Nine  or 
I.  This  city  covers  an  whole  octave  reaching  from 
A  to  I,  the  I  lying  in  H.  Now  that  last  one  shall 
not  be  the  first  A,  but  the  second  one  which  is  I. 
This  law  of  construction  must  be  mastered  in 
America,  by  AmericA.  If  our  second  A  arrives 
at  its  place  of  victory  (in  H)  to  become  ME,  the 
R  and  the  I  and  the  C  of  the  midst  of  the  word 
must  fall.  Now  every  city  AI  will  have  Five  Kings 
to  be  hung  UP.  This  city  lieth  in  every  word  of 


338  THE  NEW  DEM OCRACY 

life;  in  every  man  and  woman,  in  every  nation,  in 
every  state  and  every  city  and  town  of  the  state. 
This  city  AI  is  not  to  be  taken  by  Moses  or  his 
law  anywhere  in  the  universe,  but  by  " Joshua  the 
son  of  Nun.  "And  still  there  remaineth  yet  very 
much  land  to  be  possessed." 

The  time  has  arrived  in  the  history  of  expansion 
in  this  United  AmericA  when  this  city  shall  be 
taken,  and  the  last  A  redeem  the  first,  as  it  is 
written  by  the  prophet  in  the  word.  And  the  way 
ye  know.  He  who  climbeth  by  any  other  way  is 
the  same  as  the  thief  and  the  robber  of  the  night 
which  knows  no  law. 

The  first  A  of  the  national  body  is  crying 
mightily  for  the  regeneration  of  the  national  body, 
and  preparing  with  battleships  for  its  regenera- 
tion. In  spite  of  infidelity  and  ignorance  the  soul 
of  an  ethered  Peace  arises ;  the  sun  stands  still  upon 
Gibeon ;  and  AI  is  taken  by  the  son  of  Nun.  Now 
this  I  must  be  the  great  stick  of  remembrance — 
for  interpretation  of  the  square.  This  I  is  not  the 
first  A,  or  "me." 

There  is  a  place  in  the  law  of  life  where  the 
original  dominant  one  is  brought  into  captivity, 
for  the  glory  of  ascension  of  Life.  There  is  a  place 
where  a  force  must  be  beheaded  by  captivity,  that 
the  I  above  be  enthroned,  and  life  rest  squarely 
upon  the  whole  principle  of  dual  opposites,  declar- 
ing "The  square  deific." 

Now  only  the  eye  which  is  I,  in  the  midst  of  the 
square,  will  discern  this  place,  by  interpretation. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  339 

"Get  up  O  Elam.  And  behold  here  cometh  a 
chariot  of  men  with  a  couple  of  horsemen.  And 
he  answered,  Babylon  is  fallen,  is  fallen." 

"And  they  said  Lord,  behold  here  are  two 
swords ;  and  he  said  unto  them,  It  is  enough." 

"In  that  day  shall  there  be  a  highway  cut  of 
Egypt  to  AssyriA,  and  the  Assyrian  shall  come 
into  Egypt,  and  the  Egyptian  into  Assyria,  and 
the  Egyptian  shall  serve  with  the  Assyrians. 

"In  that  day  shall  I-srael  be  the  third  with  As- 
syria, even  a  blessing  in  the  midst  of  the  land. 

"Blessed  be  Egypt  my  people,  and  Assyria  the 
work  of  my  hands,  and  Israel  mine  inheritance." 

It  is  the  business  of  Democracy  to  know  its  law. 
In  its  law  is  its  everlasting  strength.  It  is  the 
business  of  the  people  to  know  the  place  where  a 
captivity  of  one  sets  free  Israel,  mine  inheritance, 
the  third  with  AssyriA.  This  captivity  must  fall 
at  the  last  days,  of  the  physical  expansion.  "It 
shall  come  to  pass  in  the  latter  days,  that  I  will 
bring  about  the  captivity  of  Elam,  the  chief  of 
their  might." 

The  word  Elam  bears  its  record  in  that  heaven 
which  is  its  fourth  dimension.  Its  existence  upon 
earth  is  as  a  witness  only.  Not  all  words  express 
round-square  dimension.  There  are  words  of 
earth.  The  One  word  is  ever  the  record  of  heaven 
and  earth  handed  down  as  witness  in  earth.  Now 
all  facts  of  fourth  dimension  are  under  the  law  of 
the  square  which  lifts  up  its  Logos,  or  Fifth  prin- 
ciple, as  its  apex.  "My  words"  are  of  this  pyra- 


340  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

midal  form.  This  word  Elam  is  one  of  my  words. 
It  is  square.  It  is  therefore  a  foundation  word, 
an  Hebrew  form  to  reveal  its  reality  only  when 
read  from  right  to  left  as  well  as  from  left  to  right. 
And  I  will  bring  about  the  captivity  of  Elam. 

"And  I  looked  and  behold  a  Lamb  stood  upon 
Mount  Zion." 

This  is  universal  Law.  Nature  glories  not  in 
the  male  or  in  the  female,  but  in  that  which  is 
neither  male  nor  female.  "Hereby  know  we  the 
spirit  of  truth  and  the  spirit  of  error." 

In  the  male  we  have  the  beast.  In  the  female 
the  fool.  Of  these  negations  in  man  Law 
affirms  One  which  is  Man,  the  sons  of  God.  The 
government  which  becomes  male  becomes  beastly 
automatically.  Civilization  still  clings  to  the  beast 
and  the  fool  as  its  ideal.  There  comes  a  time 
among  the  hills  of  Time  when  male  and  female 
as  even  "elders"  before  the  throne  of  Life  rejoice 
in  all  the  earth  "because  thou  hast  taken  to  thee 
thy  great  power  and  hast  reigned"  If  we  will 
read  this  chapter  of  Revelation  where  it  is  written 
in  the  llth  place  of  the  record  we  shall  find  the 
light  of  the  even.  The  nation  which  has  refused 
to  give  birth  to  the  triune  son  of  God  begotten  of 
the  Law,  is  naturally  destined  to  become  a  beastly 
and  a  foolish  nation,  by  the  will  of  its  own  body. 
This  will  which  we  call  our  own,  Is  it  our  own? 
Nature  has  a  dual  body  in  all  force ;  she  therefore 
has  a  dual  will.  Each  body  of  force  inherits  the 
whole  body  of  Law,  but  naturally  rejects  the  will 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  341 

which  is  normally  conceived  of  the  duality  to  be  the 
whole  One  will  of  nature.  Nations  which  reject 
the  duality  at  the  ballot  box  reject  the  will  of  the 
one  whole  Law  in  the  whole  body  of  personal  and 
national  life.  The  law  is  under  the  Law.  Nature 
sends  forth  two  wills  to  enthrone  one  Law.  To 
change  the  will  of  the  people  we  change  the  law 
whose  will  dominates  the  people.  We  change  the 
law  and  the  law  changes  us.  We  change  the  domi- 
nant law  by  changing  dual  relations  within. 
Man  changes  his  will  only  when  he  changes  his 
law.  He  changes  his  law  only  when  he  understands 
the  difference  between  the  dual  relations  of  the 
primitive  will  of  the  law  and  the  dual  relations  of 
the  other  One.  His  watch  is  to  be  set  over  all  his 
life  that  "One  for  two  I  never  did  misread."  Man 
yields  up  his  body  to  the  will  of  the  law  which  he 
has  enthroned  within  that  body.  Reform  seeks 
not  to  elevate  man ;  man  is  ever  a  fourth  dimension 
for  interpretation  of  Law.  Law  can  be  lifted  up 
within  him,  using  his  body  as  its  plane  of  expres- 
sion. Reform  will  not  seek  to  lift  up  man,  but  will 
in  the  might  and  power  of  wisdom  lift  the  primi- 
tive law,  that  the  will  of  this  law  may  die  in  all  the 
earth  wherever  enthroned  by  the  eyes  blind  from 
birth,  giving  place  to  the  will  which  is  "my  will," 
preparing  an  entrance  into  Jerusalem,  from  the 
cross  after  the  crucifixion  is  ended,  casting  palms 
in  the  way  upon  this  side  and  upon  that. 

As  the  primitive  will  of  the  primitive  law  has 
had  for  its  plane  of  manifestation  the  bodies  of 


342  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

man  and  of  their  nations,  so  the  will  of  the  holy 
One  asks  that  ye,  understanding  the  voice  Paul, 
now  again  present  your  bodies  unto  Him  a  willing 
sacrifice.  The  primitive  law  will  establish  only  the 
dual  relations  within  the  bodies  of  nature.  The 
physical  will  expresses  first.  This  will  has  no  I, 
and  no  power  to  enthrone  by  definition  the  will  of 
the  triune  one  within  the  bodies  of  nature.  The 
primitive  law  will  therefore  externalize  only  the 
beast  and  the  fool ;  but  saith  Life,  at  the  limit  of 
beastly  expansion  the  fool  will  turn  from  out  the 
wilderness  into  the  king's  court  to  be  defined  as 
the  one  upon  whom  the  ascension  rests.  The  fool 
will  seek  first  the  holy  grail.  Ever  an  "imprac- 
tical sentimentalist,"  this  one  will  bring  down  a 
body  of  life  from  a  fourth  dimension  with  a  bow. 
By  the  will  of  the  new  law  of  his  being  the  fool 
will  lift  up  Kundry,  to  be  lifted  up,  and  having 
received  the  gift  of  healing  will  make  heave  offer- 
ing of  that  gift,  to  set  sail  with  Three  upon  the 
See,  in  a  ship  guided  by  an  angel  in  the  head, 
sailing  straight  to  the  west  to  a  land  unknown 
where,  'neath  the  Golded  Tree  of  Life,  the  fool 
sainted  receives  the  cup  of  life  which,  by  the  will 
of  the  One  body  of  One  Law,  is  the  cup  of  regen- 
eration, a  testament  of  blood. 

Is  Man  then  lifted  up?  Man  is  then  dead,  and 
"I  am  lifted  up."  And  the  earth  passes  away  and 
the  lust  thereof:  but  he  that  doeth  the  will  of  God 
abideth  forever.

"Ah  Genoese,  thy  dream:  thy  dream: 
Centuries  after  thou  art  laid  in  thy  grave,

CHAPTER  I 

THE    WORD   OF    THE   POET    AND  THE 
WORD  OF  SCIENCE 

Now  raise  thy  view 

Unto  the  visage  most  resembling  Christ: 
For  in  her  splendor  only  shalt  thou  win 
The  power  to  look  on  him." 

.  .  .  Beatrice,  she  who  passeth  on 
So  suddenly  from  good  to  better  ..." 

"  While  the  verse  unfolds 

Things,  that  do  almost  mock  the  grasp  of  thought." 

— Dante. 

Poetry  is  that  form  of  the  word  of  revelation  in 
which  Law  states  directly  its  cold  facts  of  fourth, 
or  ether,  dimension.  Poetry  states  the  whole 
pyramidal  idea  of  the  square  scientific  bottom  fact. 
Poetry  cannot  exist  without  natural  base.  When 
it  exists,  pushing  itself  through  the  dark  ages  of 
understanding,  this  fact  is  our  sign  that  here  is 
the  word  of  science  in  revelation  of  fourth  dimen- 
sion. The  scientific  basis  of  poetry  alone  gives  it 
existence  in  nature's  realm  of  art. 

The  same  eye  which  has  interpreted  for  us  the 
constitution  and  the  republic  has  interpreted  for 
us  the  poems  of  the  ages.  The  eye  which  has  in- 
terpreted "We,  the  people,"  has  interpreted  the 
whole  nature  scheme  of  art.  The  interpretation 
has  not  been  Truth.  Every  work  of  art  which 
lives,  lives  to  be  interpreted  by  science.  Art 
345 


346  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

waits,  as  the  sphinx  ever  waits  in  Lower  Egypt, 
until  the  consciousness  of  the  grail  is  unfolded 
which  "Asks  the  Question."  Art  has  plan  and 
base  and  the  artist  states  the  base  for  the  plan  and 
Life  brings  the  law  of  the  plan  to  rest  upon  the 
base,  and  there  is  "lily  work  at  the  top."  The  base 
is  the  choice  of  man.  A  normal  structure  then 
grows  from  his  hand,  not  his  work  but  the  work 
of  creation.  He  has  laid  the  basic  seed  in  the 
bosom  of  Naomi,  the  eternal  mother  of  art ;  she  has 
taken  the  child  to  her  own  bosom  as  the  child  of  the 
creation.  "Bring  the  veil  thou  hast  upon  thee  and 
hold  it,"  is  her  eternal  command,  for  where  crea- 
tion is  the  veil  of  art  is. 

The  artist  is  ever  in  advance  of  the  conscious- 
ness of  his  race,  the  poem  ever  in  advance  of  the 
poet,  interpretation  ever  beyond  the  speech  of  the 
interpreter.  Interpretation  cannot  fall  within  the 
capacity  of  man.  Man  looks  upon  the  Law  in 
every  immortal  work  of  art.  Unless  he  knows  the 
triune  body  he  looks  in  blindness.  The  artist 
seeks  first  a  conscious  union  with  the  One  Law, 
yielding  the  senses  to  the  ascending  creative  power 
of  One,  to  be  secure  from  that  inspiration  which 
rises  only  to  fall.  At  a  place  in  the  art  of  life 
stands  Beatrice  waiting,  waiting,  to  lead  where 
flows  the  river  of  the  water  of  life  in  a  circle, 
square  and  true,  and  there  is  no  more  curse. 

A  rebirth  of  the  One  Lord  of  Life  preceeds  a 
birth  in  art  which  is  a  resurrection.  Art  is  dis- 
cerned in  that  realm  which  is  a  Twelfth  night 
where  all  tears  are  wiped  away. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  347 

The  word  of  Art  exists  not  to  convey  ideas  from 
man  to  man  but  from  Law  to  man  to  reveal  the 
ideas  of  Law  to  the  world.  All  our  interpretation 
has  been  the  interpretation  of  dual  meanings,  cut- 
ting out  of  all  meaning  the  relation  between  hu- 
manity and  The  Law.  The  word  exists  to  convey 
ideas,  but  not  the  ideas  of  men  and  women. 

The  following  quotations  from  the  speech  of  a 
distinguished  teacher  of  English  in  a  noted  Amer- 
ican college  is  of  vital  interest  to  a  new  born  states- 
manship. The  Word  of  poetry  is  here  defined  as 
a  word  separated  from  basic  scientific  fact.  This 
learned  teacher  of  American  budding  manhood  is 
reported  by  a  current  magazine  to  have  said,  "The 
Declaration  of  Independence  is  a  piece  of  spec- 
tacular rhetoric  and  should  be  placed  on  the  same 
shelf  with  the  envenomed  party  platforms  of  the 
day ;  it  cannot  be  accepted  as  a  statement  of  prac- 
tical rights  now,  any  more  than  we  could  accept 
an  utterance  in  complete  lyric  form  as  a  literal 
statement  of  cold  facts.  The  Revolution  was 
fought  to  uphold  a  delusion,  and  the  rank  and  file 
of  the  colonial  army  went  down  in  rags  to  oblivion 
to  maintain  a  fallacy  that  'All  men  are  created  free 
and  equal.' ' 

"  For  the  great  idea : 

That,  O  my  brethren — that  is  the  mission  of  Poets. 

For  the  great  idea,  the  idea  of  perfect  and  free  in- 
dividuals, 

For  that  idea  the  bard  walks  in  advance,  leader  of 
leaders.

Are  WE,  the  people,  not  yet  "afoot  with  the

alone  ? 

The  Poet  is  the  discoverer  of  the  second  coven- 
ant. Columbus  becomes  Walt  Whitman  in  the 
legend  of  Law.  The  Declaration  was  interpreted 
by  Whitman.  We  recognize  in  him  first  that  union 
with  Law  which  makes  his  I,  the  eye  of  Law. 
Poetry  has  to  do  only  with  this  I.  To  declare 
this  I,  Whitman,  the  true  Poet,  declared  first  "the 
square  deific"  which  lifts  up  one.  He  threw  his 
whole  being  into  the  balance  of  Law.  Walt  Whit- 
man here — dual  humanity  there.  And  did  the 
balance  tremble?  Out  of  the  dimness  opposite 
equals  advance.  .Here  a  universal  conception  of 
Life!  Here,  America,  the  woman,  waited,  "for 
me." 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  349 

Nature,  poetic  nature,  gives  two  accounts  of 
creation.  The  Poet  reads  the  two  accounts,  con- 
structing the  square,  out  of  all  the  people,  to  de- 
clare "the  general  soul."  Law  has  cast  Whitman 
as  a  symbol  figure  of  the  scientific  conscious- 
ness which  must  grow  up  out  of  the  soil  of 
America.  The  ages  shall  yet  declare  the  square 
and  its  I  triumphant  upon  this  soil.  Whitman 
gave  himself  for  the  promise.  As  discovery  un- 
folds Law  we  turn  to  his  pages,  ever  in  advance  of 
all  discovery.  Here  the  Statesmanship  of  Poetry. 
Here  the  Declaration.  Here  the  Constitution, 
interpreted  by  the  I.  Here  that  union  of  Law  with 
One  which  lifts  a  world  and  redeems  a  people  from 
the  fall  at  that  limit  where  the  original  discovery 
is  repudiated.  Here  the  last  discoverer  enthrones 
the  first.  The  eternal  truth  of  the  word  waits 
within,  as  soul  waits  to  be  formed. 

"  The   workmanship    of   souls   is   by   the   inaudible 

words  of  earth; 

The  great  masters  know  the  earth's  words,  and  use 
them  more  than  the  audible  words." 

The  Carol  of  Words  is  heard  by  the  intelligence 
which  looks  for  the  two  accounts  of  creation  m 
creation.  "And  one  for  two  I  never  did  misread." 
"True  poets  are  not  followers  of  beauty,  but  the 
august  masters  of  beauty." 

The  Founders  were  such  masters.  Creation  first 
establishes  the  square.  All  creative  power  lies  in 
the  square  constitution  and  its  Declarative  L 


850  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Christianity  is  the  poem  of  nature  which  must  rest 
upon  the  Democracy  of  nature.  The  fundamental 
planks  were  absolute.  Democracy  and  Christianity 
are  the  "dual  notes"  of  Art.  Where  the  duality 
is  under  the  masculine  law  triune  art  is  not.  Art 
arises  only  when  the  foundations  of  Christianity 
are  laid  in  the  democracy  of  nature.  America 
cannot  be,  cannot  manifest  the  art  and  poetry 
which  she  if,  until  she  has  been  Democracy. 

When  America  was  found  a  new  world  was 
created.  For  that  creation  there  were  no  new  crea- 
tive laws  conceived  for  "private  interpretation.'5 

That  Man  is  created  free  and  equal  is  a  fact  of 
the  second  account  of  creation  and  the  poetic  divine 
scientific  fact  of  the  second  eye,  which  must  be 
written  I,  in  good  English.  A  rebirth  of  De- 
mocracy today  means  the  birth  of  Art,  and  the 
birth  of  Poetry  involved  in  the  shape  Democracy. 
Art  involving  poetry  and  Christianity  is  born  of 
the  fifth  principle  of  the  square,  after  the  square 
has  been  established  in  the  prose  of  organism. 

America,  and  its  words,  gave  birth  to  Whitman. 
Whitman  gave  whole  normal  birth  to  national  Art 
because  he  ordained  in  us  perception  of  poetic 
place  in  the  Square  Deific — place  of  the  I  in  the 
original  shape  of  the  poem  America.  He  de- 
scended to  the  fundamental  square,  writing  the 
square  out  of  the  people,  "solid  four  sided,  I,  the 
most  solid."  "I  speak  the  pass-word  primeval — I 
gvce  the  sign  of  Democracy."  Before  he  declares 
the  I  of  the  eternal  one  he  establishes  the  square. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  351 

He  defined  the  apex  from  the  base;  he  saw  the 
natural  pyramid  of  life.  He  defined  America,  as 
Dante  defined  Man,  "Four-square  against  the  tides 
of  destiny."  He  saw  Man  the  voice  of  the  eternal 
I.  He  saw  the  poem,  the  solid  basic  poem  of  Na- 
ture, to  be  armed  by  Democracy  and  Christianity 
to  express  Art. 

Whitman  discovered  America  in  that  realm  of 
Law  which  is  the  body  of  art.  He  was  not  edu- 
cated in  the  interpretations  of  provincialism.  He 
was  educated  in  Law.  He  is  the  consciousness  of 
Law  which  is  the  birth  right  of  the  American.  Be- 
cause he  saw  we  shall  see.  It  is  the  promise.  He 
did  not  define  culture.  He  defined  Art.  He  is  not 
process  but  achievement.  He  did  not  define  that 
which  America  shall  teach  its  youth:  he  defined 
that  which  America  teaches  its  Son,  the  people,  out 
of  its  own  soul  and  body.  He  is  conscious  of  the  I 
which  conceived  him.  Democracy  cannot  give  birth 
to  America  with  out  the  I  of  the  poetry  of  Whit- 
man in  the  foundation  which  lifted  up  Whitman. 
We  cannot  establish  Democracy  without  the  scien- 
tific basic  of  these  poems  inlaid  in  the  consciousness 
which  is  born  each  day  in  the  American  College. 
Because  the  soil  has  produced  the  poet  of  the  Dec- 
laration we  may  claim  the  rediscovery  of  America 
within  the  domain  of  Art. 

"  Awake,  for  morning  in  the  bowl  of  night 

Has  flung  the  Stone  that  puts  the  stars  to  flight ; 
And  lo !  the  Hunter  of  the  East  has  caught 
The  Sultan's  Turret  in  the  noose  of  Light. 


352  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Dreaming  when  Dawn's  left  hand  was  in  the  sky 
I  hear  a  voice  within  the  Tavern  cry, 
'Awake  my  little  ones  and  fill  the  cup 
Before  Life's  liquor  in  the  cup  is  dry.'  " 

The  Poet  discovers  in  advance  of  science.  He 
is  the  instinct  of  involution.  Knowledge  of  the 
One  Law  has  become  to  him  an  automatic  instinct. 
We  know  him  only  when  we  know  Law.  He  es- 
tablishes the  faith  of  the  fundamental  expression 
in  science.  He  writes  from  the  apex  of  Law  with 
his  feet  upon  the  ground.  The  Founders  were 
poetic  figures  using  the  language  of  Law  which 
interprets  but  which  is  not  interpreted  until  "I 
the  square  finishing"  may  define  the  square  funda- 
mental basis.  The  republic  cannot  be  defined 
until  the  people  are  defined  by  the  Law.  The  re- 
public still  exists  as  an  involution  of  the  soil 
America,  a  seed  planted  and  quickened  in  its  soil 
by  the  death  of  original  elements  therein.  A  re- 
public, denying  the  law  of  its  ascension,  by  the  au- 
tomatic instinct  of  the  masculine  law  will  turn 
naturally  to  the  destruction  of  its  own  generated 
body,  which  body,  denying  the  natural  regenera- 
tion, exists  only  to  be  generated  again.  The  two 
creations  in  one  (the  generation  and  the  regenera- 
tion) is  discerned  only  by  the  poet;  the  one  in  ad- 
vance of  the  culture  of  his  race ;  he  who  stands  ever 
where  he  was  born,  in  the  Fourth  dimension  cloth- 
ing mortality  with  the  immortality  of  Nature.  The 
poet  sees  from  this  dimension  the  fact  of  Man's 
equality  in  the  triune  soul  of  national  life. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  353 

"  As  I  sat  alone,  by  blue  Ontario's  shores, 

As  I  mused  of  these  mighty  days,  and  of  peace  re- 
turned and  the  dead  that  return  no  more, 

A  phantom,  gigantic,  superb,  with  stern  visage,  ac- 
costed me; 

Chant  me  the  poem,  it  said,  that  comes  from  the 
soul  of  America.  .  .  . 

.  .  .  Chant  me  the  carol  of  victory. 

Sing  me  the  song  of  the  throes  of  Democracy. 

Democracy — the  destined  conquerors — yet  treach- 
erous lip  smiled  everywhere  and  death  and  infi- 
delity at  every  step." 

Until  we  have  a  natural  definition  of  Democracy 
we  have  no  definition  of  infidelity  to  Democracy. 
Back  of  ideas  lies  force,  and  force  is  natural  primi- 
tive metal,  assuming  shape  automatically.  Shape 
exists,  not  by  man's  will  but  by  the  will  of  Law. 
Equality  is  not  an  ideal :  It  is  an  idea  born  of  Na- 
ture having  back  of  it  the  divine  shape.  Shapes 
arise  from  out  the  will  of  law.  America  was 
builded  in  fundamental  eternal  shape  by  the  will 
of  the  One  Law.  The  primitive  intelligence,  not 
knowing  the  definition  of  law,  seeks  naturally  to 
destroy  the  shape  of  Democracy. 

Back  of  ideas  lie  the  shapes  which  support  the 
earth  and  these  shapes  are  supported  by  the  whole 
earth.  The  Declaration  is  not  a  piece  of  "spec- 
tacular rhetoric"  neither  is  it  a  piece  of  human  in- 
vention. It  is  a  whole  body  of  Law;  and,  "spec- 
tacular rhetoric"  can  neither  destroy  or  enthrone 
its  cold  facts  of  scientific  revelation,  born  within  it, 
out  of  that  body  of  natural  law  which  declares 


354  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

unto  all  life  that  the  Fourth  Day  of  the  Seventh 
month  is  the  Independence  Day  of  the  Natural 
Law  of  Liberty,  a  day  enthroning,  by  the  com- 
mand of  Life,  the  Glorious  Fourth  of  the  Uni- 
verse within  a  natural  body  which  is  a  body  of  life, 
even  the  Republic. 

"I  swear  I  am  for  those  who  walk  abreast  of  the 
whole  earth." 

As  we  have  interpreted  this  Fourth  day  by  the 
primitive  fire  of  understanding  we  have  absorbed 
primitive  fire  in  the  brain  of  a  race.  Subject  to 
this  fire  we  are  still  subject  to  that  primitive  inter- 
pretation which  lies  in  a  realm  where  culture  is 
without  form  and  void,  existing  before  the  earth 
is  formed  and  the  Fourth  Day  has  given  birth  to 
the  Sun.  Fed  upon  the  primitive  fire  we  have  been 
subject  to  primitive  interpretation  within  and  with- 
out. Today  the  creative  waters  arise,  to  again  bat- 
tle with  elemental  fire,  for  the  life  of  a  solid  earth 
to  be  called  a  FirmAment.  And  for  this  battle 
America  is  again  ready  to  go  down,  "rank  and  file, 
in  rags  even  to  oblivion,"  for  the  great  Idea  born 
within  the  body  of  the  great  and  living  God,  ready 
to  declare  again,  All  men  are  free  and  equal  Sons 
of  the  Law  of  the  Fourth,  the  Glorious  Fourth. 

Our  original  forms  are  also  our  last  forms.  That 
which  lies  between  first  and  last  is  a  rod  which,  in- 
volved in  the  first,  has  blossomed  in  the  last,  and 
this  the  rod  which  budded  in  the  pathway  from  first 
to  last.  The  nearer  we  approach  the  original 
form,  the  clearer  the  definition  and  prophecy  of 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  355 

the  last  which  was  the  first.  We  therefore  preserve 
the  first  for  its  relation  to  the  last.  The  last  is  de- 
fined to  define  the  first.  The  poetic  primitive  In- 
dian gave  to  us  the  reality  of  the  last  scientific  con- 
sciousness of  the  race.  But  we,  an  alien  race,  have 
destroyed  these  personal  universal  records,  not 
knowing  that  original  forms  are  words  of  Life. 
Ignorance  will  ever  destroy  the  original  body,  even 
as  man  has  destroyed  himself.  The  Fourth  dimen- 
sion of  Life  must  relate  itself  to  the  first  to  define 
the  Fifth  principle  of  itself.  The  apex  of  the 
pyramid  goes  to  the  base  for  definition  of  itself. 

The  final  agony  of  poetic  birth  is  before  this 
nation.  America  faces  the  cold  scientific  poetic 
facts  of  the  Ninth  hour  of  creation  which  opens 
the  portals  of  the  porch  which  is  Solomon's  for 
healing  of  the  lame,  the  halt  and  the  blind,  by 
Peter  and  John  "being  the  ninth  hour."  Every 
nation  upon  the  face  of  the  earth  faces  the  birth 
hour  when  nature  helps  only  the  woman.  From 
this  hour  the  man  is  driven  out.  Here  the  woman 
and  Law  battle  for  a  new  life.  Here  the  promise 
of  nature  is  given.  "And  the  earth  helped  the 
woman." 

Man  has  tried  to  be  Democracy :  Law  is  Democ- 
racy. We  have  tried  to  define  the  ideal.  We  have 
not  yet  defined  the  idea  which  defined  itself  in  de- 
fining US.  Nature  has  no  ideals.  Ideals  are  man's 
effort  to  grasp  the  realities  of  nature  in  her  Glo- 
rious Fourth  of  Independence.  Instead  of  the  ideal 
the  youthful  student  is  to  have  explained  to  him 


356  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  idea,  born  of  a  relation  of  forces  which  has  cast 
a  body  of  life  upon  the  earth  known  as  The  Re- 
public of  Man.  The  idea  of  the  Republic  has  not 
yet  been  intelligently  viewed  by  modern  stateman- 
ship.  We  have  politicians.  We  have  not  yet 
grown  the  poetic  statesmen  of  a  second  covenant 
ready  to  face  scientific  facts.  Immortality  en- 
thrones only  the  poetic  figures  of  life.  Force  cre- 
ates ideals.  Idea  belongs  to  the  original  ether 
whose  word  is  Peace.  The  poetic  crown  is  the 
crown  of  Law,  and  in  its  laurel  wreath  is  a  circu- 
lar idea  not  yet  squared.  As  the  church  of  Christ 
has  cut  off  its  second  birth  from  nature,  so  the 
state  has  cut  off  its  ascension  written  in  the  second 
birth  of  Democracy,  born  of  the  woman.  Church 
and  state  have  been  free  and  equal  in  defiance  of 
Natural  Law. 

Our  Divine  shapes  are  the  words  of  our  primi- 
tive scriptures.  These  have  advanced  upon  us,  out 
from  us,  handed  down  unto  us  from  above.  In  the 
covenant  which  we  have  made  with  the  people  upon 
this  soil  lies  the  covenant  which  was  made  in  the 
beginning  with  Law  and  Life.  We  call  the  cove- 
nant a  personal  affair,  which  we,  the  male  people, 
may  change.  The  covenant  is  a  covenant  of  Law 
and  Life  with  this  Republic  of  the  United  States 
in  America.  We  may  destroy ;  and  in  three  days  I, 
in  this  place,  in  a  people  of  this  place,  will  raise  it 
up  again.  We  are  playing  destruction  with  the  in- 
destructible. We  are  experimenting  with  the  eter- 
nal body  of  Truth,  measuring  the  triune  body  of 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  357 

God  by  the  dual  measure  of  man.  The  divine  Shape 
is  given  the  nation  by  Life  in  the  name  of  Liberty ; 
that  shape  still  waits  adoption,  by  interpretation, 
born  of  Law. 

"  All  waits  for  the  right  voices.  .  .  . 
I  see  brains  and  lips  closed — tympans  and  temples 

unstrung, 
Until  that  comes  which  has  the  quality  to  bring 

forth    what    lies     slumbering,    forever,    in    all 

words." 

Divinity  and  its  Truth  will  cling  to  the  whole 
shapes  of  the  past  and  "If  ye  had  known  and  be- 
lieved Moses,  ye  would  have  known  me."  As  Law 
brings  a  new  old  religion,  restating  the  original 
Shapes,  so  Law  brings  a  New  Democracy  restating 
and  understanding  that  which  was  first  given. 

"Democracy:      while     weapons     were     everywhere 

aim'd  at  your  breast, 
I  saw  you  serenely  give  birth  to  immortal  children 

— saw  in  dreams  your  dilated  form; 
Saw     you    with    spreading    mantle    covering    the 

world." 

Poetry  is  the  form  in  which  Law  expresses  the 
square  of  the  circle  of  Law.  Poetry  is  the  word  of 
the  absolute.  The  absolute  one  in  nature  is  the 
square-round  word  of  holy  trinity.  In  poetry  the 
Law  is  pushed  to  straight-round-square  expres- 
sion in  One.  Poetry  returns  to  the  Law  which 
gave.  Only  in  poetic  statement  can  we  find  the 
whole  truth  from  base  to  apex.  The  true  Poet  is 


358  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

forever  with  the  One  Law.  He  brings  the  whole 
creative  law  to  the  rounded  vision.  He  is  under 
the  law  of  rejection,  for  he  lies  in  the  Christ  realm 
of  Natural  law  where  there  is  no  "me,"  no  I,  save 
the  one  I,  "Life  of  the  great  round  world,  I,  the 
general  soul."  He  lies  where  there  is  neither  male 
nor  female,  casting  laws  that  eternally  exist  above 
to  exist  on  earth. 

The  primitive  eye  will  reject  the  I  of  the  poet,  as 
the  primitive  eye  ever  rejects  the  law  of  the  Nine. 
Art,  lying  in  the  realm  of  the  Christ,  lies  in  the 
realm  of  crucifixion  which  lifts  up  life,  through 
crucifixion,  to  lift  up  Law.  Art  is  not  Art  until  it 
lies  consciously  within  the  divine  body  of  Law 
where  all  men  are  free  and  equal  in  the  square  which 
lifts  its  apex  to  the  sun,  declaring  /  Am. 

A  consciousness  of  Law  is  born  unto  a  people 
before  a  sense  of  interpretation  can  be  born  in  the 
realm  of  the  Nine  where  Law  sits  enthroned.  Art 
is  the  divine  body  of  understanding;  understand- 
ing lies  within  the  possible  political  area  of  govern- 
ment. A  consciousness  of  Law  precedes  the  re- 
birth of  Art,  yet  the  consciousness  of  Law  is  born 
from  Art.  It  is  the  mission  of  Art  to  define  Law 
before  Law  is  consciously  recognized.  To  hold 
life  to  instinctive  allegience  to  Law  while  the  word 
of  Law  is  lost, — that's  the  mission  of  Art.  To 
awaken  a  consciousness  of  Law  is  the  work  of  the 
Poet.  This  the  one  greatness  covering  the  whole 
word  of  Whitman.  He  has  held  us  to  the  body  of 
understanding  during  the  dark  ages  of  primitive 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  359 

rulership,  before  the  One  Lord  of  Life  is  perceived 
in  the  Art  of  government. 

"  The  words  of  poems  are  the  tuft    and    final  ap- 
plause of  science." 

"  His  insight  and  power  encircles  things  and  the  hu- 
man race.  .  .  . 

They  do  not  seek  beauty — they  are  sought.    .  .  . 

Whom  they  take,  they  take  into  space,  to  behold 
the  birth  of  stars,  to  learn  one  of  the  meanings, 

They  launch  off  with  absolute  faith — to  sweep 
through  the  ceaseless  rings,  and  never  be  quiet 
again." 

.  .  The  See  of  the  Poet  has  its  scientific  dimen- 
sion, even  as  the  Sea  has  its  poetic  dimension  of 
scientific  fact  from  which  the  woman  arises  related 
to  that  understanding  which  must  be  interpreted 
as  a  creative  See.  And  here  a  Mermaid  is  born, 
with  golden  hair  to  lure  men  with  a  song  of  reality, 
scientific,  whole,  and  eternal,  even  a  song  of  Life, 
reaching  unto  Mary,  risen  from  the  Sea  where  Life 
conceives  with  Life,  to  enthrone  in  nature  the  Law 
of  Holy  See.  And  here 

"  Through  the  deep  brine  ye  fearless  may  put  out 
Your  vessel;  marking  well  the  furrow  broad 
Before  you  in  the  wave  that  on  either  side 
Equal  returns." 

And  this  fearless  putting  forth  into  the  See  will 
bring  you  at  once  face  to  face  with  the  cold  scien- 
tific facts  of  the  Second  Canto  of  Paradise,  in  The 
Divine  Comedy  of  Law,  where 


S60  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

"  Apollo  guides  me ;  and  another  Nine. 
To  my  rapt  sight,  the  Arctic  beams  reveal." 

We  have  clung  by  faith  to  the  Shapes  of  Democ- 
racy to  today  listen  to  the  statement  of  the  cold 
fact  by  Whitman  that  these  Shapes  are  supported 
by  the  whole  Earthy  to  support  the  new  heaven  and 
the  new  earth  which  was  conceived  when  America 
was  conceived  to  be  established  in  Law.  Creation 
has  ordained  in  every  one  of  these  fundamental 
Shapes,  a  birth  and  an  after  birth.  Divine  instinct, 
born  of  wholeness,  has  bound  us  to  the  natural 
Ninth  hour  of  deliyery  in  which  a  reality  in  brains, 
in  will,  in  understanding,  must  stand  forth.  In 
that  hour  of  understanding  we  may  see  that  the 
after-birth  of  beginnings  has  from  the  beginning 
sustained  the  living  body  of  our  faith  until  that 
Ninth  hour  which  sets  the  woman  free  in  the  valley 
of  the  shadow  of  death. 

The  kingdom  of -immortal  creation  is  the  king- 
dom of  Thought,  and  here  Law  reigns.  The  facts 
of  creation  are  facts  of  universal  creation  and  by 
creative  facts  Thought  must  light  the  regenera- 
tive creative  way  in  the  affairs  of  life  within  the 
Kingdoms  of  the  Son.  "Whereunto  shall  I  liken 
the  kingdom  of  God?  It  is  like  leaven,  which  a 
woman  hid  in  three  measures  of  meal,  till  the  whole 
was  leavened.  And  he  went  through  the  cities  and 
villages,  teaching  and  journeying  toward  Jerusa- 
lem." "And  they  shall  scourge  him  and  put  him 
to  death,  and  the  third  day  he  shall  rise  again." 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  361 

And  it  is  easier  for  heaven  and  earth  to  pass  away, 
than  one  jot  or  tittle  of  the  law  to  fail  about  these 
cold,  absolute,  whole,  poetic,  scientific,  facts  of 
Biblical  Nature. 

If  the  original  shapes  are  false  the  consumma- 
tion is  false.  The  false  consummation  does  not 
prove  the  original  body  of  relations  false,  but  the 
original  interpretation  of  the  divine  body  false. 
America  exists  for  Democracy  as  it  was  conceived 
in  the  body  of  Law,  not  as  men  have  interpreted 
that  body.  America  is  formed  in  a  New  Testament, 
under  the  Law  of  the  New  to  enthrone  the  Old 
Glory  in  its  own  original  place  by  the  descent  of 
one  from  above  to  that  place.  Not  until  we  have 
builded  a  normal  centralization  of  forces  at  the  bal- 
lot box,  to  be  moved  upon  by  the  creative  law,  can 
the  great  poetic,  scientific  idea  centralize  US. 

If  the  idea  is  a  failure  it  is  a  failure  which 
proves  that  the  law  of  opposite  equality  has  been 
manifest  in  an  ignorance  equally  manifest  in  high 
and  low  places.  The  masculine  Mass  cannot  lift 
up  the  Host,  and  this  is  a  scientific  fact.  Life  asks 
today  for  an  intelligence  in  America  which  shall 
make  the  sun  stand  still  until  life  has  declared  the 
day  which  is  One,  and  no  night  there. 

The  Constitution,  The  Declaration,  the  States 
are  our  words  of  life,  shaped  and  supported  by  the 
creator  of  all  forms.  Within  these  forms  lies  the 
poetry  of  nature  to  define  Law.  The  glory  of  the 
Poet  shall  be  laid  at  the  feet  of  the  original  States- 
men. At  the  feet  of  the  Poet  Whitman  must  be 


362  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

laid  the  glory  of  a  statesmanship,  unknown  in  us 
today. 

"  Of  psychology  from  top  to  toe  I  sing ; 
The  female  equal  with  the  male.  .  .  .  The  Modern 
Man  I  sing  yet  utter  the  word  Democracy  En- 
masse." 

"Affection  shall  solve  the  problems  of  freedom  yet; 

Those  who  love  each  other  shall  become  invincible 
— they  shall  yet  make  Columbia  victorious. 

Sons  of  the  Mother  of  All:  you  shall  yet  be  vic- 
torious." 

Today  "Dawn's  left  hand  is  in  the  sky."  The 
poet  has  sailed  far  into  the  Western  arm  of  the 
See.  In  him  the  westland  of  the  word  is  awake. 
He  has  sighted  the  Isle  of  the  Blest.  He  stands  in 
the  center  of  the  earth  clothed  with  the  glory  of 
the  midst  from  sea  to  sea.  He  is  all  speech  and  its 
silence.  His  instinct  is  not  the  knowledge  of 
parts.  He  sees  not  the  soul  but  the  soul  and  its 
wings.  He  is  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

"  And  he  lay  in  the  midst  of  the  way  from  the  east 
to  the  west.  .  .  . 

Then  the  east  came  out  from  the  east  and  the  west 
came  out  from  the  west. 

The  wind  was  fanning  the  dawn  as  a  spark. 

The  east  and  the  west  took  form  as  the  wings  of  a 
lark. 

One  wing  was  feathered  with  facts  of  the  utter- 
most Past, 

And  one  with  the  dreams  of  a  prophet;  and  both 
sailed  fast 

And  met  where  the  sorrowful  Soul  on  earth  was 
cast.  . 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  363 

And  the  soul  was  a-tremble  like  a  new  born  thing, 
Till  the  spark  of  the  dawn  wrought  a  conscience  in 

heart  as  in  wing, 

Saying,  Thou  are  the  lark  of  the  dawn;  it  is  time 
to  sing." 

Science  is  the  man.  Art  is  the  woman.  Art  is 
a  triune  One.  Art  is  the  son. 

Science  seeks  the  Highest ;  Art  loves  the  highest 
and  knows  without  seeking.  Knowing,  Art  tells. 
Longing,  science  seeks,  and  finds  not. 

"  Till  science  to  knowing  the  Highest  shall  lovingly 

turn, 
Till  Art  to  loving  the  Highest  shall  consciously 

burn, 
Till  Science  to  Art  as  a  man   to    a    woman    shall 

yearn, 

....  Then  morn: 
When  Faith   from  the  wedding  of  Knowing  and 

Loving  shall  purely  be  born, 
And  the  Child  shall  smile  in  the  West,  and  the 

West  to  the  East  give  morn, 
And  the  Time  in  that  ultimate  Prime  shall  forget 

old  regretting  and  scorn, 
Yea,  the  stream  of  the  light  shall  give  off  in  a 

shimmer  the  dream  of  the  night  forlorn." 

The  Poet  states  the  whole  spiritual-physical 
fact.  He  is  not  interpreted  by  the  personal  eye. 
In  his  words  we  may  hear  the  speech  which  is  silver 
and  see  the  silence  which  is  golden.  He  has  found 
the  lost  Atlanta's  Isle  and  in  him  the  east  and  the 
west  advance,  from  the  distances  opposite.  "And 
the  east  comes  out  from  the  east  and  the  west  comes 


364  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

out  from  the  west."  Is  this  the  truth  of  Poetry? 
The  truth  of  geography  and  political  conscious- 
ness? The  truth  of  Science?  of  Art?  This  is  the 
truth  of  Law.  "And  he  was  in  the  world  and  the 
world  knew  him  not,"  and  the  Word  is  the  triune 
body  of  life. 

Today  the  dauntless  discoverer  has  again  set 
sail.  In  sight  of  victory  again  is  heard  the  voice, 
"Turn  back,  Turn  back,  Discovery  no  further 
goes.  The  dream  is  'a  piece  of  spectacular  rheto- 
ric, not  to  be  accepted  as  a  statement  of  practical 
right.'  Turn  back.  Away  with  the  'impractical 
sentimentalist.'  Turn  back,  there  is  no  land 
there."  Lanier  has  lived.  Whitman  has  lived. 
Turn  back? 


"  Friends,  we  are  bound  into  the  west." 

"  Admiral,  turn,"  .... 

Then  down  the  night  we  saw  the  meteor  burn. 
So  do  the  very  heavens  in  fire  protest: 
Good  Admiral,  put  about :  O  Spain,  dear  Spain !  .  . 
Hold  straight  into  the  west,  I  said. 

"  So  when  we  heard  the  orchard-bird's  small  song, 
And  all  the  people  cried,  a  hellish  throng 
To  tempt  us  onward  by  the  Devil  planned, 
Yea,  all  from  hell — keen  heron,  fresh  green  woods, 
Pelican,  tunny-fish,  fair  tapering  reeds, 
Lie-telling  lands  that  ever  shine  and  die 
In  clouds  of  nothing  round  the  empty  sky. 

"  Tired  Admiral,  get  thee  from  this  hell  and  rest: 
Steerman,  I  said,  hold  straight  into  the  West."  .  .  . 

"  Wait ;  the  Pinta's  gun : 
Why  look,  'tis  dawn !  the  land  is  clear !  'tis  done — 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  365 

Two  dawns  do  break    at    once    from    Times'  full 

hand! 
God's,  East — mine — West:  Good   friends,  Behold 

my  land.  .  .  . 

Leap,  and  wade  ashore,  and  kneel — 
God  be  praised  that  steered  the  keel." 

A  hand  for  the  keel!  That's  the  need  of  Dis- 
covery today.  A  hand  which  shall  be  the  hand  of 
Law,  steady  and  sure,  opening  an  eye  in  the  con- 
sciousness of  America,  out  of  the  Square  Deific. 

The  West  is  written  by  the  eternal  law  to  en- 
franchise the  east  and  open  the  north.  Awake, 
Thou  West^&nd,  "For  as  a  young  man  marrieth 
a  virgin  so  shall  thy  sons  marry  thee." 

The  east  will  veil  the  woman  till  the  east  comes 
out  of  the  east  'for  that  bridal  of  nature  which 
lifts  up  the  regeneration  by  that  union  of  two 
with  the  Law  which  Art  has  called  the  union  of 
the  Phoenix  and  the  Dove.  Shakespeare  has  used 
the  cold,  scientific  facts  of  this  union  for  a  sci- 
entific analysis  of  the  magnetic  and  ether  law,  upon 
which  rests  the  regeneration.  Biblical  analysis,  by 
the  authority  of  natural  law,  relates  the  sable 
Raven  to  the  white  doved  ether.  Biblical  record 
places  the  magnetic  law  under  the  law  of  the  east ; 
and,  at  the  time  of  regeneration  calls  "a  ravenous 
bird  from  the  east." 

The  Dove  of  Shakespeare's  poem  is  a  Turtle- 
Dove.  The  eastern  serpent  arrives  at  the  figure 
of  the  dove  by  way  of  the  turtle  and  this  is  physi- 
cal evolution.  In  the  turtle  the  serpent  is  impris- 


366  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

oned  in  the  square  and  this  is  spiritual  and  natu- 
ral revelation,  commanding  everything  that  hath 
breath  to  praise  the  Law 

The  magnetic  law  will  ever  record  its  ascension 
to  the  regeneration  by  a  burial  which  reveals  no 
grave.  Shakespeare  begins  his  poem  of  The 
Phoenix  and  the  Dove  with  these  "obsequies  so 
strict."  Nowhere  in  the  realm  of  art  will  life  kill 
her  Raven  that  moves  to  and  fro,  yet  "  'Mongst 
our  mourners  must  thou  go."  In  this  poem  he 
has  written  the  divine  humor  of  the  divine  comedy 
of  Law. 

"  Thou  treble-dated  crow, 
That  thy  sable-gender  makest 
With  the  breath  thou  givest  and  takest 
'Mongst  our  mourners  shalt  thou  go. 

"  From  this  session  interdict 
Every  fowl  of  tyrant  wing 
Save  the  eagle,  feather'd  king, 
Keep  the  obsequies  so  strict." 

The  bridal  song  which  follows  these  "obsequies 
so  strict"  lyrically  states  the  exact  relations  which 
define  the  triune  body  where  one  is  won.  The  words 
are  biblical  in  their  perfection  of  definition.  "Two 
distincts  division  none.  .  .  Either  was  the  others 
mine." 

"  Property  was  then  appalled 

That  the  self  was  not  the  same; 

Single  natures  double  name 

Neither  two  nor  one  was  called. 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  367 

Reason  in  itself  confounded, 
Saw  division  grow  together 
To  themselves  yet  either  neither 
Simple  were  so  well  compounded. 


That  it  cried,  How  true  a  twain 
Seemeth  this  concordant  one: 
Love  hath  reason,  reason  none, 
If  what  parts  can  so  remain." 

Here  the  Co-supremes  of  regenerative  relativi- 
ties are  defined  as  only  the  English  language  can 
define.  Here  that  scientific  humor  which  declares 
The  Twelfth  Night  to  be  What  You  Will,  wiping 
tears  away  in  a  known  Science  of  equality  resting 
upon  Two  distincts  division  none. 

America  today  should  resort  to  this  "urn"  in 
its  study  of  regeneration  and  scientifically  observe 
the  "lyric"  revelation,  commanding  certain  "obse- 
quies" before  regenerative  resurrection.  In  every 
state — 

"  To  this  Urn  let  those  repair 
That  are  either  true  or  fair" 

Instinctively  expressed,  yet  buried  with  the  ris- 
ing soul  of  the  race,  lies  that  desire  for  a  more  per- 
fect union  of  two  with  the  One  Law  and  Lord  of 
life,  which  creates  the  resurrection  of  "the  third 
day"  and  of  "the  eighth,"  which  eighth  brings  that 
restoration  which  writes  "my  new  name"  upon  the 
brow  of  him  that  overcometh. 


368  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

These  States  sprang  not  from  war  and  lust. 
These  States  sprang  from  a  desire  for  a  more  per- 
fect union.  Did  America  declare  a  belief  in  the 
Phoenix  of  the  resurrection?  America  was  the  res- 
urrection. Tell  no  man  until  I  have  risen  again 
from  the  dead. 

Without  knowledge,  poetic  knowledge,  of  the 
"Co-supremes"  of  the  triune  relativities  of  nature's 
One,  there  can  be  no  conscious  and  sustained  res- 
urrection within  the  domain  of  understanding. 
Democracy  exists  to  enthrone  the  Co-Supremes  of 
the  Square;  exists  to  imprison  the  serpent  of  the 
eastern  garden  in  the  square  way  of  ascension  to 
the  Dove.  Without  knowledge  of  the  opposite 
Co-Supremes  of  the  soul  there  is  no  soul  in  all 
scholastic  interpretation.  Today  we  are  apologiz- 
ing for  the  fundamental  stones  of  Democracy. 
Reform  nods  a  drowsy  worshiper  outside  when  all 
the  temple  is  prepared  within.  Reform  is  yet  with- 
in the  morning  of  "a  false  dawn."  "As  I  stand 
aloof  and  look,  there  is  something  profoundly  af- 
fecting in  large  masses  of  men,  following  the  lead 
of  those  who  do  not  believe  in  men." 

Reform  backed  by  law  today  inaugurates  the 
Restoration  of  Co-Supremes  for  the  bridal  of  the 
Phoenix  and  the  Dove  and  the  restoration  of  the 
regeneration  to  the  arms  of  nature.  Today 
America  becomes  its  own  Poem  and  Poet.  Today 
we  realize  the  past.  Today  the  poet  born  among 
us  is  a  race  of  poets  enthroning  the  Art  of  Life. 
The  Poet  is  he  who  has  wedded  the  woman  of  uni- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  369 

versal  law.  He  has  walked  with  her  in  the  land  of 
Shinar;  she  has  given  to  him  the  wings  of  the 
stork  while  out  of  dimness  opposite  equals  advance. 
The  poet  has  dreamed  true  the  whole  scientific 
foundation  of  Law.  He  has  seen  "a  little  fountain 
become  a  river,  and  there  was  light,  and  the  sun, 
and  much  water;  this  river  is  Esther,  whom  the 
king  married  and  made  queen." 

"I  have  given  Esther  the  house  of  Haman.  And 
the  decree  was  given  at  Shushan ;  and  they  hanged 
Haman's  ten  sons."  The  first  request  of  Esther 
will  be  that  the  letters  devised  by  Haman  be  re- 
versed. In  this  universal  reversal  we  shall  find  hid- 
den manna. 

The  woman  ether  is  today  reversing  all  magnetic 
edicts.  The  woman  brings  an  art  of  understand- 
ing which  is  direct,  because  born  of  indirection. 
The  art  of  understanding  will  understand.  It  will 
write  the  Co-Supremes  of  the  Soul  in  the  political 
life  of  nations.  It  will  arrive  at  poetic  definition 
of  the  fundamental  forms  of  government.  It  will 
awaken  the  fifth  power  of  the  square  and  ordain 
Peace. 

The  I  of  poetic  vision  dwells  ever  with  the  Law 
above,  while  the  "me"  of  the  primitive  one  lies  sick 
at  the  pool  of  Bethesda.  Personality  limited  by 
itself  will  define  the  self  as  the  whole  Co-Supreme 
of  Life.  Only  the  Poet  redeems,  for  in  him  a 
woman  waits  ever  to  conceive  with  him  the  body  of 
the  One  Law.  Whitman  has  defined  for  Life  the 
soul  of  America.  He  is  the  Poet  of  the  resurrec- 


370  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

tion;  the  man  of  "right  moisture;"  the  dew  of 
Lebanon  is  upon  his  brow,  gathered  from  the  midst 
of  a  fiery  furnace.  He  is  the  gift  of  the  fundamen- 
tal word  unto  us,  moving  out  from  us  to  lift  us  up. 

What  do  you  hear,  Walt  Whitman? — 
I  hear  America  singing — 
Chanting  the  Square  Deific. 


CHAPTER  II 
THE  CONSTITUTION 

"  By  Allah !  O  my  Lord,  I  have  eight  children 
and  I."  — Thousand  Nights  and  One. 

"  A  free  government  will  make  its  final  stand  upon 
the  decisions  of  the  United  States  Supreme  Court." 
— James  J.  Hill,  before  Yale  Alumni,  '10. 

Our  physical  law  at  the  limit  of  expansion  signs 
itself  Seven,  the  last  day  which,  under  the  law  of 
the  third,  is  also  the  first.  Our  physical  law  at 
its  limit,  by  a  process,  becomes  a  spiritual  law 
signed  Nine.  Nine  is  that  sign  which  marks  a 
place  where  physical  law  has  taken  to  itself  that 
natural  increase  of  power  from  within  which  is 
the  normal  gift  of  ascending  life.  At  seven  the 
physical  law  takes  to  itself  the  involved  power 
which  it  has  evolved  within  itself.  The  spiritual 
fact  of  this  process  lies  neither  in  the  evolution  nor 
the  involution  but  in  the  relation  which  is  estab- 
lished by  these  two  witnesses  of  the  Law  called 
marriage,  in  the  name  of  the  triune  one. 

The  spiritual  fact  is  the  equal  opposite  relation 
of  evolution  and  involution,  both  physical  forms. 
Through  the  involved  one,  or  the  negative  form, 
the  whole  physical  expanse  finds  itself  written 
above.  This  writing  "above"  is  above  the  original 
external  facts,  or  above  the  original  earth.  And 
what  is  the  earth?  The  earth  is  the  physical  ex- 
pansion and  the  original  earth,  and  every  problem 
371 


372  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

and  every  man  has  the  law  of  the  earth  as  his  law. 
All  beginnings  must  fall  under  the  law  of  the  ori- 
ginal earth  of  that  beginning  to  arrive  at  a  natural 
of  evolution-involution.  "And  one  for  two  I  never 
did  misread,"  will  be  our  constant  care  in  all  inter- 
pretation. We  build  submarine  lines  in  all  vision  to 
arrive  at  the  heart  of  the  earth  where  the  regener- 
ation, which  is  to  ascend  from  within,  is  impris- 
oned. Seeing  within  the  physical  expansion  we 
see  the  heaven  which  is  to  ascend  as  a  descent  upon 
the  earth.  The  one  of  the  heaven  above  we  see 
first  imprisoned  within  the  earth  form.  Every 
physical  problem  follows  natural  lines  of  creation. 
We  therefore  in  interpretation  follow  dual  creative 
lines  of  force,  by  the  law  of  "my  two  witnesses." 

Evolution  we  see  as  the  first  A,  and  the  involu- 
tion as  the  second  one,  or  the  second  A.  Out  of 
the  second  A  we  build  the  Christ  form  by  a  descent 
of  the  whole  Law  upon  the  involution,  or  the  nega- 
tive expression  of  the  physical  expanse.  Wherever 
this  descent  is  recorded  the  quality  of  the  without 
and  the  within  (or  of  the  evolution  and  the  involu- 
tion) is  written,  and  one  above  appears  to  declare 
I  AM.  The  problem  of  two  and  two  in  the  name 
of  the  triune  one  is  the  One  problem  of  the  art  of 
government. 

We  see  our  evolution  as  the  first  one,  and  the 
second  one  at  once  as  our  involution,  under  the 
law.  We  see  then  two  m  the  first  one.  We  bring 
the  dual  vision,  to  enthrone  One,  in  all  the  physical 
affairs  of  life.  Intelligence  then  notes  for  us  not 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  373 

only  the  external  positive  man  A,  but  also  the 
hidden  man  A,  of  the  creative  law.  This  hidden 
one  of  evolution  is  a  descent  from  above  and  an 
everlasting  omnipresent  gift  of  the  ground. 

At  the  limit  of  physical  expanse  the  whole  physi- 
cal area  must  become  negative  to  the  descent  from 
above,  which  rises  from  within  the  original  earth 
form,  if  it  would  inherit  the  ascension  promised 
the  original  earth  of  every  problem  and  form.  Re- 
jecting the  food  of  the  Law  we  here  die.  At  the 
limit  of  physical  expansion  the  whole  physical 
body  of  the  creation  will  become  negative  to  the 
descent  of  life  from  above,  which  rises  from  within. 
Here  government  must  become  art,  leading  nature 
in  obedience  to  a  new  law.  The  descending-ascend- 
ing one  will  be  seen  to  be  the  second  one  of  the 
physical  expansion,  involved  from  the  beginning, 
to  arrive  at,  and  form,  the  place  I,  the  Nine,  and 
the  one  altogether  lovely,  the  one  which  is  written 
one  for  all.  The  physical  expansion,  wedding  this 
one  in  the  triune  name,  signs  itself,  "By  Allah," 
and  by  the  law  Selah  declares,  "I  have  eight 
children  and  I." 

Revelation  has  been  ever  in  the  world  to  arise 
where  it  has  been  laid.  There  is  no  place  of  resur- 
rection for  the  Law  save  the  grave  wherein  the  Law 
is  buried.  Today  every  physical  form  is  yielding 
up  the  holy  body  of  its  life.  Today  the  Law 
arises,  not  by  the  power  of  man  or  of  woman,  of 
king  or  of  priest.  "Now  will  I  arise,  now  will  I 
lift  up  myself,  saith  the  Law."  Our  problem  is 
recognition  and  enthronement,  in  the  earth. 


374  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Our  physical  expanse,  or  AH  law  of  Seven  days, 
will  yield  not  to  the  physical  understanding  the 
whole  triune  wife  descending  as  the  square  Jeru- 
salem from  above,  but  will  give  seven  hundred  con- 
cubine physical  forces,  negative  forces  of  involu- 
tion, to  be  wedded  to  one.  In  the  redemption  which 
ascends,  from  within,  these  Seven  lay  hold  upon 
one,  for  redemption  (Isaiah,  4,  1),  and  thus  the 
whole  physical  expanse  is  lifted  up,  as  the  AH  law 
passes  through  AH  to  I,  the  last  which  was  and  is 
first. 

There  is  no  passage  from  generation  to  genera- 
tion save  through  the  square  which  is  formed  at 
seven  of  the  equality  of  evolution  and  involution. 
This  passage  is  through  the  better  half  of  the  phy- 
sical body  of  life,  the  involution.  Here  the  two 
immutable  things  of  God  reveal  God  and  the  Son 
three  m  one,  born  of  the  equality  of  heaven  and  of 
earth  from  within  the  body  of  physical  force,  or 
from  the  involution,  which  is  the  body  of  the 
woman.  God  reveals  the  triune  Son  of  nature  as 
the  redemption  from  the  fall  through  a  normal 
ascension  from  within.  Two  immutable  things  are 
given,  for  interpretation  of  God  and  the  Son. 
Every  form  holds  two  bodies  of  physical  force. 
Religion  binds  back  to  the  creative  law  to  reveal 
its  I  above.  Religion  is  the  word  of  God,  a  body  of 
Hebrew  force  to  send  out  the  Son  of  the  woman. 
The  Logos  of  the  word  religion  is  E,  reaching 
from  first  to  last.  Our  religion  is  first  physical  or

ligion  is  dual  before  it  reveals  to  our  holy  see  the 
triune  I.  Our  religion  becomes  our  interpretation 
of  all  things.  All  nations  and  governments  first 
worship  the  God  A11AH. 

The  physical  law  will  evolve  an  intelligence 
which,  worshipping  the  God  Allah,  denies  the  Son, 
making  no  attack  upon  the  city  AH  to  take  AI. 
This  law  will  also  evolve  a  consciousness  which, 
claiming  to  see  and  be  the  Son,  will  deny  the  God 
Allah.  All  physical  expansion  will  evolve  the  con- 
sciousness which  worships  the  God  Allah  to  deny 
the  I,  and  the  consciousness  which  will  deny  the 
God  ALLah  claiming  to  enthrone  I.  Neither 
arrives  at  truth,  which  is  "born  of  two  immutable 
things  in  which  it  is  impossible  for  God  to  lie." 
Art  enthrones  "my  two  witnesses,"  the  Old  and  the 
New  Testament,  the  physical  expanse  and  the 
resident  forces  within  the  physical  expanse. 

For  the  taking  of  the  city  AI  we  need  the  whole 
physical  expanse  of  five  fundamental  sense  forces 
to  hang  these  five  within  that  "cave"  which  is  the 
"sepulcher"  of  the  Law  and  the  brain  of  nation 
and  Man.  Unless  we  have  obeyed  the  law  of 
ascension  by  conservation  and  appropriation  of 
these  forces  these  'jive  go  not  in  to  the  marriage  of 
life  and  law.  "Put  them  in  fear  O  Lord ;  that  the 
nations  may  know  themselves  to  be  but  men. 
Selah."  For  the  taking  of  the  city  AI  in  which 
are  five  kings  to  be  hung  and  caved,  we  need  the 
whole  expanse  of  the  AH  law.  Nations  refusing 
to  ascend  beyond  the  physical  limit  in  the  way  of 


376  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

life  fall  at  seven  under  the  law  of  dissolution.  At 
the  place  seven  new  life  and  law  is  given,  born  of 
the  eternal  way. 

Now  the  AH,  or  the  physical  law  which  evolves 
the  concubine  forces  which  at  the  last  day  wed 
one,  is  not  reality.  The  reality  is  that  which  is 
three-in-one  including  all.  The  AH  law  is  not  the 
reality  but  that  which  with  its  better  involved  half 
brings  forth  the  reality. 

The  physical  law  exists  as  the  vessel  which  bears 
the  physical  record  within  above  to  write  itself 
above.  The  physical  expansion  is  the  prophet  of 
the  reality.  This  fact  has  eternal  depth  and 
heighth.  Between  the  law  which  is  all  physical, 
covering  the  expanse  from  A  to  H,  and  the  law 
AI,  lies  a  cross  to  be  made.  The  preaching  of  this 
cross  is  "to  them  that  perish  foolishness,"  but  only 
to  them  that  perish. 

The  physical  expanse  is  ever  in  captivity,  hold- 
ing its  place  by  the  power  of  the  sword,  refusing 
the  cross  which  is  peace  and  immortality.  Though 
in  captivity  "They  of  the  captivity"  build  the 
temple  of  God  which  the  triune  one  rebuilds  in 
three  days.  "And  they  perceived  that  they  that 
were  of  the  captivity  did  build  the  temple  unto  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel."  Thus  has  this  temple, 
America,  arisen.  Thus  has  this  temple,  the  human 
body  of  Liberty  arisen.  Destroy  it,  that  in  three 
days  it  may  arise  again  born  of  a  free  people,  cry- 
ing Holiness  unto  the  Lord  whose  name  is  One. 

The  "Founders"  covered  the  whole  physical  ex- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  377 

panse  that  we  may  "look"  to  the  heaven  within 
establishing  the  temple  eternal  in  the  heavens.  The 
original  temple  is  lifted  to  immortality  by  putting 
on  its  involved  immortality.  "They  that  are  afar 
off  shall  build  in  the  temple."  The  building  in 
is  a  New  Testament  building  after  the  law  of  an 
immaculate  conception  of  heaven  and  earth.  In- 
terpretation now  approaches  the  original  national 
covenant,  at  the  limit  of  physical  expansion,  as  a 
word  of  life  which  is  a  body  of  creation  under 
creative  law.  A  body  builded  by  "they  of  the  cap- 
tivity." The  whole  New  Testament  building  of 
nature  is  withvn  that  which  has  been  builded.  Will 
we  bring  our  bodies  in  line  with  a  natural  order  of 
ascension,  is  the  universal  and  the  personal  ques- 
tion of  life  today.  The  New  Testament  is  not 
original  building  but  building  which  has  been 
already  planned  and  defined  by  the  prophet  of 
nature,  the  original  foundation.  The  new  testa- 
ment of  the  law  comes  ever  that  it  may  be  fulfilled 
which  was  spoken. 

We  come  then  to  the  original  testament  of 
Democracy  with  a  plan  given  for  all  future 
achievement.  We  search  the  original  documents 
for  the  prophecy  spoken  by  these  forms  "that  it 
might  be  fulfilled."  We  recognize  these  figures 
as  forms  of  life  builded  by  "they  of  the  captivity 
unto  the  Lord  God  of  Israel."  The  science  of 
interpretation  is  vested  in  the  Nine,  for  the  Nine 
compasses  the  first  to  be  the  last  word  of  authority 
covering  the  evolved  and  the  involved.  Here  "A 


378  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

free  government  will  make  its  final  stand  upon  the 
decisions  of  the  United  States  Supreme  Court." 

The  "founders"  gave  the  plan  given  them  by 
creative  law.  They  have  covered  the  whole  physi- 
cal expanse  with  the  AH  law  that  we,  with  their 
gift  to  us,  from  life,  may  take  AI,  building  within 
the  temple  which  they  builded,  that  their  work  may 
be  clothed  with  its  involved  immortality. 

To  know  and  keep  the  Sabbath  Day  which  is 
Seven  is  the  basis  of  immortality.  At  the  place 
Seven  the  equality  of  two  shall  become  organic 
square  fact.  Here  two  laws  struggle  for  supre- 
macy and  the  people  are  crowned  only  by  under- 
standing. Here  the  war  of  expansion,  or  physi- 
cal birth,  is  over,  and  One  appears  to  lead  in 
"Marches  when  the  war  is  over."  To  break  the 
law  of  the  Sabbath  is  the  sin  of  sins.  Here  the 
triune  one  shall  arise  to  lead.  Here  the  dual 
law  will  be  represented  by  dual  leadership.  At 
the  place  Seven  the  ascension  will  lift  up  the 
Law  as  leader  of  men ;  and  the  physical  expan- 
sion must  also  here  lift  up  its  figure,  to  deny  the 
equal  opposite  relation  of  evolution  and  involution 
to  form  the  son,  the  triune  One.  Here  the  signs  of 
fall  and  ascension  are  sent  out  and  signals  set  up 
that  the  people  may  know.  The  rising  Law  will 
be  known  by  its  efforts  to  externalize  Two  Moun- 
tains and  plant  the  Ephah  in  the  Land  of  Shinar, 
and  these  words  are  not  mystical  but  understand- 
able where  the  Law  is  read  by  the  Nine.  The 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  379 

return  to  the  fall  will  lift  up  its  leaders  born  out 
of  the  physical  limit.  Here,  over  against  the  one 
law,  life  must  send  out  a  physical  leadership,  to 
enthrone  the  physical  law  and  deny  the  equal  invo- 
lution which  has  arisen  for  the  ascension  of  the 
whole  physical  body.  Here  a  problem  of  conser- 
vation will  be  forced  by  nature  and  the  eye  of  holy 
see  turn  the  people  toward  the  reality  of  the  prob- 
lem. Here  a  positive  leader  born  of  the  physical 
limit  must  arise,  and  over  against  this  figure  the 
Law,  strong  and  mighty,  arises,  invisible,  spir- 
itual, triune,  demanding  the  birth  of  the  Son  of 
woman,  as  it  is  written,  enforcing  the  captivity  of 
Elam.  Here  nature  must  define  two,  and  the  peo- 
ple choose  the  leadership  of  one  bringing  "two 
swords,"  one  bringing  preparation  for  war;  one 
bringing  fear,  one  bringing  the  spirit  which 
dreads  naught.  Here  a  new  leadership  must  arise, 
and  a  new  science  of  interpretation  be  born.  Here 
the  affairs  of  nations  become  the  affairs  of  nature 
and  unto  us  a  son  is  given,  to  be  the  triune  one  born 
of  that  which  is  within  and  above.  This  is  the 
promise  of  the  end. 

We  enter  the  wheel  of  life  at  the  hub  of  the 
circle,  bringing  the  blossoming  rod  of  Joseph  to 
measure  the  scale  of  things  from  end  to  end.  Re- 
form in  America  is  not  to  pass  up  and  down 
through  the  earth  with  Satanic  motion  but  to  pass 
throuGH  the  earth,  bearing  the  original  ark  and 
covenant,  establishing  the  triune  son  in  all,  taking. 
AI  through  and  through  every  national  problem, 


380  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

till  we,  a  free  nation,  have  killed  poverty  and  war 
and  ignorance  with  the  two  swords  of  life  which 
define  the  everlasting  arms  of  God. 

In  entering  the  wheel  of  life  at  its  hub  we  note 
the  scale  of  our  measure, — else  it  reaches  not  from 
end  to  end,  enthroning  the  triune  son, — careful  to 
know  it  for  the  rod  of  Ezekiel  reaching,  not  from 
one  to  five  or  from  one  to  eight,  but  from  nothing 
before  I  to  nothing  after  I,  speaking  the  word  of 
the  Ten,  which  is  the  first  number  of  that  city 
above  the  earth  called  Paradise,  where  the  Nine  is 
enthroned.  Only  in  the  full  measure  of  the  AH 
law  will  we  enter  "the  utter  court"  where  the  one 
voice  of  interpretation  is  the  voice  of  the  son  of 
man,  manifest  in  the  opposite  ends  of  the  earth. 
Vision  of  the  son  of  man  enthrones  Thought  to 
offer  the  oblation  of  the  people  four  square,  unto 
the  law,  measuring  the  glory  around  about  from 
the  midst  of  the  squared  circle  declaring,  "The 
Lord  is  there."  Having  offered  the  oblation  of  Eze- 
kiel we  enter  the  book  of  judgment,  in  the  law's  day 
of  judgment  to  become  Daniel,  the  whole  book  of 
the  end,  book  of  the  Nine.  "Go  thy  way  till  the 
end  be :  for  thou  shalt  rest,  and  stand  in  thy  lot  at 
the  end  of  the  days." 

At  the  even  we  see  the  light  which  is  the  light 
of  the  Sabbath  which  the  people  shall  now  keep. 
At  the  even  the  impulse  of  cleanliness  awakens,  and 
purification  becomes  the  word  of  the  hour,  a  word 
to  be  written  in  the  law  of  the  last  days  of  the 
scale  which  measures  days  to  declare  one  day  over 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  381 

all.  And  here  "the  coast  turneth  to  Ramah,  and 
to  the  strong  city  Tyre:  and  the  coast  turneth  to 
Hosah;  and  the  outgoings  thereof  are  at  the  sea 
"from  the  coast  to  Achzib. 

"The  sixth  lot  came  to  the  children  of  Naphtali, 
even  for  the  children  of  Naphtali.  And  the 
seventh  lot  came  out  for  the  tribe  of  the  "children 
of  Dan." 

"And  Neemias  called  this  thing  Naphthar, 
which  is  as  much  as  to  say  a  cleansing:  but  many 
men  call  it  Nepi." 

At  the  even  we  look  for  the  light  which  cleanses 
to  manifest  the  law  of  Golgotha,  at  Golgotha,  in 
the  race. 

Now  it  is  necessary  to  find,  wherever  life  faces 
the  law  of  the  cross,  the  one  naturally  unrepent- 
ant. This  one  becomes  the  first  factor  in  the  vic- 
tory of  the  cross.  This  one  lies  first,  in  the  prob- 
lem, of  interpretation.  This  unrepentant  one  is  a 
dominant  motion  which  has  become  a  personal  law 
in  the  mind  and  body.  This  one  denies  the  square. 
Life  reveals  the  third  principle  lying  between  op- 
posites  only  to  reveal  the  ascension  of  that  prin- 
ciple to  the  Nine.  Until  the  people  consent  to  de- 
fine the  square,  how  can  they  be  defined  by  The 
Nine? 

The  square  is  formed  to  lift  up  its  fifth  princi- 
ple. The  fifth  principle  is  not  lifted  up  by  either 
arm  of  the  duality.  The  Fifth  principle  of  the 
square  is  lifted  up  by  the  square.  Write  the  rela- 


382  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

tive  body  of  fundamental  law  and  rest,  for  "Now 
will  I  arise,  now  will  I  lift  up  myself,  saith  the 
Lord"  whose  name  is  One. 

The  constitution  first  forms  the  square.  Its 
body  is  a  body  of  Holy  Trinity  for  the  glory  of 
Life.  It  has  written,  having  formed  the  square, 
the  people  within  as  the  omnipotent  I.  The  people 
are  the  fifth  principle  of  the  square  because  they 
are  the  square.  They  today  cry  for  omnipotence 
but  refuse  to  form  the  natural  basis  of  omnipo- 
tent construction.  That  which  is  to  be  seen  in  a 
republican  form  of  government  is  the  round  up  of 
the  people  in  the  natural  head,  to  be  there  not  the 
voice  of  party  or  person,  but  the  voice  of  the  One 
square  body  of  the  whole  pyramidal  plan,  the 
yoice  I. 

When  the  body  sets  out  to  use  all  its  forces  to 
manifest  the  One  Law  in  the  head,  the  voice  of  that 
head  is  no  longer  the  personal  voice  of  the  body,  for 
here  in  the  head,  thus  formed,  the  one  Law  is  the 
Only  Begotten  Son.  This  is  the  word  of  life. 
From  this  head  must  flow  back  to  the  body  the 
blood  of  the  regeneration  as  the  victory  of  the  one 
Law  at  Golgotha.  The  head  cannot  reform  the 
body  until  the  body  sets  out  to  re-form  the  head  by 
a  natural  process  which  is  the  one  process  of  the 
One  Law.  To  awaken  the  fourth  dimension  in  the 
dual  people  the  Law  is  first  given  birth  by  the  will 
of  a  people.  This  birth  is  first  from  the  side  which 
obscures  the  woman.  The  awakening  from  the  side 
is  followed  by  an  awakening  of  the  woman  in  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  383 

brain  of  the  race.  The  birth  of  Law  is  ever  an 
awakening,  for  the  Law  is  not  counted  among  the 
dead  but  among  the  living.  In  the  day  of  the 
first  resurrection  all  bodies  yield  up  the  body  of 
the  one  Law.  All  graves  open  to  give  up  their 
dead  when  the  tomb  guarded  by  Joseph  yields  up 
its  dead. 

The  Constitution  is  a  natural  body  handed  down 
to  and  rising  up  from  a  normal  generative  body  of 
force.  The  hour  is  hastening  when  the  body  is 
again  called  to  define  the  law  of  its  head.  The 
election  of  1912  may  be  square  under  the  triune 
Law  which  lifts  up  the  Nine  as  the  Fifth  principle 
of  the  square.  In  that  year  of  our  Law, — the  su- 
preme leap-year  of  nature,  we  may  write  the  woman 
a  positive  factor  in  the  peopled  national  center  de- 
claring the  new  glory  of  an  Old  Glory. 

Here  the  original  13  faces  past  and  future  to 
carry  the  nation  to  fulfillment  of  the  original  plan. 
We  plead,  in  the  name  of  an  ascending  law,  for  the 
immediate  enfranchisement  of  womanhood  through- 
out the  national  body  in  every  state  by  every  state, 
for  the  ascension  of  the  Law  whose  name  is  one. 
Here  America  may  return  to  the  original  word  de- 
claring the  Glorious  Fourth.  Here  we  celebrate 
that  leap-year  which  weds  two  to  the  Law  and  the 
woman  is  ever  she  who  proposes  the  marriage 
under  the  law  of  the  Fourth,  a  marriage  already 
consummated  and  eternal  in  Paradise. 

The  law  of  the  Fourth  will  ever  be  the  place  of 
ceaseless  vigilance  and  Thought,  else  the  Fourth 


384  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

as  a  first  dimension,  rise  not  to  its  eternal  pyra- 
midal form,  lifting  its  central  one  from  within  its 
own  base.  The  Founders  inspired  by  Life,  seeking 
its  ascension,  saw  the  pyramidal  structure  fail  only 
by  a  dominance  of  the  head.  The  sunlight  of  the 
apex  of  the  Democratic  pyramid  of  national  life 
is  a  fleeting  light.  It  may  rest  upon  the  pyramid. 
It  cannot  own  the  pyramid.  America  has  no  glory 
to  bestow  upon  man.  Her  glory  is  unto  the  Law. 
Man  to  partake  of  the  glory  of  her  national  life 
must  be  partaker  of  life  with  her  in  the  Law.  The 
Fourth  dimension  of  the  original  line  of  force  as 
the  fourth,  becomes  the  first  note  of  a  new  era. 
The  Fourth  as  a  -first  dimension  can  not  hold  the 
square  union  without  the  leader,  Law.  Under  the 
law  of  the  first  the  new  regenerative  basis  will  be 
subject  to  the  temptations  of  the  first.  Here  life 
has  set  up  danger  signals,  signals  belonging  to  na- 
ture, for  interpretation.  Interpretation  will  find 
light  in  Paul's  letters,  noting  that,  while  the  ori- 
ginal external  square  is  written  so  |  j.  Paul, 
the  spiritual  illumination  of  the  Second  Covenant, 
refuses  the  Forty  stripes,  and  writes  Forty  stripes, 
less  one.  His  square  will  be  written  thus  j"Z. 
Paul  will  insist  upon  a  defined  relation  of  the 
square  with  its  Fifth  principle.  He  will  bring 
down  the  square  New  Jerusalem  from  Eden  as  a 
square  whose  gate  is  not  shut ;  yet  this  square  will 
have  the  full  external  value  of  the  12.  We  can 
but  state  these  points.  That  which  follows  them 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  385 

"expect  of  Beatrice,"  the  revelator  of  a  fourth  di- 
mension. 

This  square  of  Paul  is  the  regenerative 
spiritual,  physical  sign  which  can  know  no  fall. 
This  is  the  womb  of  the  regeneration  in  which  the 
Christ  is  not  conceived  by  man,  being  ever  con- 
ceived from  above.  This  open  square  must  be  re- 
lated to  the  figure  E  and  to  the  open  C.  Its  value 
is  not  Forty,  but  "forty  stripes  less  one."  Its 
value  rests  entirely  upon  understanding  of  the 
three  and  its  right-handed  Nine. 

"  A  generated  nature  its  own 

Would  make  like  its  progenitors, 

If  Providence  were  not  triumphant." 

Science  is  today  advancing  within  to  establish 
a  science  of  interpretation  which  shall  establish  the 
body  of  the  three-in-one  law  forever  upon  the 
planet  earth.  Nine  is  the  seal  of  this  one.  In  a 
science  of  interpretation  all  occult  mysticism  dies, 
for  the  hidden  is  revealed  through  vails  which  are 
forever  rent.  "Which  hope  we  have  as  an  anchor 
of  the  soul,  both  sure  and  steadfast,  and  which  en- 
tereth  into  that  within  the  veil." 

"By  two  immutable  things,  in  which  it  was  im- 
possible for  God  to  lie,  we  might  have  a  strong 
consolation,  who  have  fled  for  refuge  to  lay  hold 
upon  the  hope  set  before  us."  Upon  the  "the  im- 
mutable things  of  God"  all  creation  is  founded. 


386  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

"  Hence  thou  may'st  by  inference  conclude 
Our  resurrection  certain,  if  thy  mind 
Considered  how  the  human  flesh  was  framed, 
When  both  our  parents  at  the  first  were  made." 

The  Constitution  is  not  a  first,  but  a  second  birth 
under  the  Law.  In  all  its  being  it  has  kept  a 
straight  line  of  direction  from  the  apex  of  its  life 
to  a  central  point  within  the  base.  The  Constitu- 
tion which  we  have  interpreted  as  a  living  creature 
is  in  fact  a  living  soul.  The  Constitution  is  a  nor- 
mal generated  body  of  Life,  accenting  in  every 
part  the  fasts  to  be  kept  by  the  people  for  the  meat 
of  understanding.  It  keeps  for  life  the  fast  of 
the  third,  the  fast  of  the  fourth  and  the  fast  of  the 
seventh.  Now  the  fast  of  the  third  is  one.  By 
keeping  this  fast  of  the  third  we  arrive  at  the  one 
which  is  four  square  to  keep  the  fast  of  the  fourth 
in  the  fifth  principle  of  the  square.  The  fast  of 
the  Fifth  is  the  Ninth.  It  is  necessary  to  serve  the 
Law  in  all  these  fasts  to  land  the  hundred  and  fifty 
and  three  fishes  belonging  to  these  fast  days  for 
food  which  is  meat.  Holding  the  three  vital  prin- 
ciples of  creation  fast  within  its  form  the  Consti- 
tution has  cast  the  holy  Net  around  the  people,  de- 
fining the  people,  as  the  eye  which  is  Nine,  for  in- 
terpretation. Holding  fast  the  principles  of  the 
square  deal  of  creation  for  the  One  principle  of  the 
whole  body  of  Law  it  declares  the  Fourth  day  of 
Independence  for  the  whole  people.  The  Consti- 
tution has  spoken  the  word  which  is  God  to  all  the 
earth.  It  has  enthroned  the  body  of  life  which  is 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  387 

the  son  of  the  woman.  It  is  the  whole  word  of  the 
soul  which  rises  only  from  the  midst  of  two.  It  has 
honored  "the  third  day"  of  its  own  body  as  the 
resurrection  day  of  its  own  being.  The  Constitu- 
tion is  whole.  It  is  sufficient  unto  every  State, 
comprehending  the  past  and  future  of  democracy, 
compassing  the  evolution  of  States  with  an  invo- 
lution of  consciousness,  defining  the  One  Law  in 
exact  relations  and  proportions,  stating  for  Life 
its  square  relativities,  lifting  up  the  Fifth  princi- 
ple of  the  square  from  the  people  to  be  the  na- 
tional head,  appointing  the  Nine  to  rule  over  all 
interpretation  from  the  center  of  the  square ;  mak- 
ing no  provision  for  death,  compelling  the  resur- 
rection, commanding  the  life  more  abundant. 
Within  its  loins  lay  the  stars  and  the  stripes  of  an 
holy  being.  One  it  has  brought  forth,  red  like 
crimson,  and  one  lieth  yet  within  its  body, — one, 
white  like  wool. 

A  study  of  the  constitutional  form  declares 
unto  a  United  America  Emanuel.  Here  we  know, 
and  no  longer  guess  at,  the  destiny  of  these  States. 
This  Constitution  reaches  from  sea  to  sea.  Here 
he  has  fed  his  flock  and  gently  led  those  that  were 
with  young.  Here  let  the  people  renew  their 
strength ;  let  them  mount  up  with  wings  as  eagles ; 
let  them  run  and  not  be  weary,  walk  and  not  faint. 

Shall  we  change  the  Constitution?  If  the  Con- 
stitution is  formed  by  the  creative  law  it  cannot  be 
changed.  If  it  has  been  drawn  up  out  of  the  water 


388  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

it  is  to  be  drawn  again  into  its  own  creative  waters 
to  be  born  again  of  its  own  water  and  of  its  own 
blood. 

My  words,  they  are  Life.  Shall  we  try  to 
change  the  Constitution  or  change  the  eye  of  in- 
terpretation? Kill  this  male  temple  and  in  three 
days  I,  will  raise  it  up  again  as  the  ark  and  cove- 
nant of  my  Law  with  the  people  of  my  body.  And 
in  this  Ark  again  will  be  nothing  but  the  eternal 
two  tables  of  stone.  Here  the  organic  law  of  holy 
trinity  is  given.  Here  Nature  first  sends  out  her 
eternal  dual  house,  an  Ephah,  to  be  set  now  in  the 
Land  of  Shinar  upon  its  own  base.  The  eternal 
base  of  the  Ephah  is  the  square.  The  national 
head  has  first  met  the  problem  of  nature's  two 
mountains  and  four  chariots. 

The  Constitution  constructs  the  dual  houses  of 
one  Congress  according  to  the  natural  law.  Un- 
der the  primitive  Law — the  law  of  magnetic  force 
— one  house  may  form  the  self -center  to  become 
the  head  of  its  own  body.  This  house  is  the  lower 
house  of  natural  representation.  The  other,  the 
upper  house,  cannot  form  its  head  but  must  accept 
the  head  given  by  the  universal  law.  This  is  not 
a  plan  of  the  Founders,  but  a  plan  of  God. 

The  House  of  Representatives  represents  the 
magnetic  law.  There  are  thousands  of  offices  in 
the  gift  of  the  nation.  The  officer  of  this  House 
is  the  only  national  one  which  receives  the  direct 
vote  of  the  people.  Here  original  force  centers 
"eastward"  proceeding  directly  from  the  people 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  389 

without  transmutation  through  center.  We  do 
not  vote  directly  for  the  national  head.  He  arrives 
by  a  process.  In  the  house  the  direct  magnetic 
law  reigns. 

Here  elemental  forces  center  under  the  elemen- 
tal law.  The  magnetic  law  does  the  same  thing 
in  all  the  earth.  Men  become  its  servants.  First 
the  magnetic  law  chooses  from  its  own  elemental 
body  a  center  which — thus  saith  nature — becomes 
in  the  course  of  time  the  head  which  naturally 
usurps  control  of  the  whole  elemental  body  of 
force.  At  a  place  marked  this  head  is  to  be 
broken.  Unless  it  be  broken  creative  balance  is 
lost.  Nature  arises  today  to  break  the  over  ex- 
pause  of  magentic  head  in  all  the  world. 

The  Constitution  has  provided  for  all  growth.  It 
has  therefore  provided  for  all  change.  The  two 
houses  of  natural  law  have  not  the  same  basis  of 
representation.  The  upper  house  in  all  the  world  of 
Law. must  acknowledge  the  dual  basis  of  each  one. 
This  is  the  western  body  of  life.  Reform  for  the 
upper  house  lies  first  in  recognition  of  the  origin  of 
its  dual  basis  of  representation.  This  Constitution 
shall  be  returned  to  God  who  gave,  before  an  igno- 
rant people  take  away  that  which  was  given  from 
the  creation.  Here  is  a  risen  form  without  blood. 
In  this  form  flows  the  divine  energy  of  the  triune 
one.  Here  is  a  form  which  waits  a  birth  in  the  un- 
derstanding of  the  people  for  its  own  ascension  to 
save  the  people  from  their  sins.  Here  the  Law 
awaits  awakening  from  the  dead ;  here  the  light  of 


390  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

revelation;  here  neither  sun  nor  moon;  here  the 
light  of  the  One  Law  in  the  hand  of  the  woman 
Liberty.  The  awakening  of  the  Law  is  the  one 
same  old  story.  Ever  and  ever  from  the  side  of 
the  original  one  till  under  the  square  Greek  cross 
the  woman  is  born  from  the  head  of  all  the  people 
to  be  that  wisdom  which  is  resurrection  and  Life 
there. 

If  the  national  head  is  related  to  the  Law  which 
is  One,  and  the  national  body  related  to  the  Law 
which  is  One,  One  holy-born  must  arise  from  the 
midst  of  them  to  lift  up  national  life,  because  I 
have  been  lifted  up,  and  given  the  wings  of  a  Dove. 
This  is  the  One  promise.  There  is  no  way  to  re- 
form the  national  body  save  the  One  way ;  no  way 
to  reform  the  national  head  save  the  One  way ;  no 
way  to  silence  the  Egyptian  tongue  which  brings 
the  darkness  of  Egypt,  save  to  substitute  the 
voice  of  One. 

When  the  Law  commands  nations  and  men  to  sit 
down  upon  the  ground  and  be  fed  by  two  fishes  and 
five  loaves,  obedience  is  not  "sentimental  weakness." 
Until  we  accept  the  food  of  the  gods  we  remain 
weaklings  playing  with  the  tools  of  war  as  babes 
in  Babylon, — that  baby-land  of  ignorance  and 
death.  America  is  ready  to  put  away  childish 
things ;  ready  to  be  the  man-child  of  the  woman. 

The  physical  generation  is  the  prophet.  Nor- 
mal generation  rests  upon  the  square  four  and  its 
fifth  principle.  The  original  five  will  send  out 
from  each  sense  the  power  of  Ten.  The  original 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  391 

genesis  will  contain  fifty  chapters  to  send  out 
from  the  generative  testament  fifty  prophets.  The 
original  basis  gives  to  America  the  fifty  states  of 
a  normal  genesis.  The  sum  of  the  word  America 
is  Fifty.  America  is  the  Jubilee  of  Law.  Five  is 
ever  subtracted  from  four  in  the  order  of  Melchesi- 
dec.  Now  we  cannot  subtract  the  greater  from 
the  less  without  borrowing  ten  of  the  One  Law. 

Statehood  is  at  the  last  days.     The  generation 
is  under  the  law.     Mark  well  the  new  prophetic 
state.        O  Western  World,  to    you    belongs  the 
glory  of  the  last  days!    A  glory  born  of  a  place, 
a  birth  place,  not  to  be  wrested  from  you  by  any 
power  from  without.     You,  and  you  alone,  may 
push  America  throuGH  to  her  inheritance,  writ- 
ten from  the  beginning.     Through  you   America 
passes  from  generation  to  generation  rounding  the 
nativity  from  Pioneer  to  Pioneer.    The  mystic  real 
foundation  was  I,  written  before  3.     Today  the 
Fifth,  principle  of  the  Four  square  is  again  to  be 
lifted  up  in  understanding,  and  to  you  is  given 
the  original  design  of  a  new  World.    Fail  thou  not 
the  year  of  the  Jubilee  of  Law.     Send  Thou  out 
from  thy  every  house    top  the  prayer  of  that  one 
which  is  Solomon :  "Powers  of  the  kingdom,  be  be- 
neath my  left  foot    and    within    my  right  hand. 
Spirits  of  earth,  conduct  me  between  the  two  col- 
umns whereon  is  supported  the  whole  edifice  of  the 
Temple;  Understanding  and  Wisdom,  give  unto 
me  the  crown ;  Mercy  and  Justice,  be  ye  the  equi- 
librium and  splendor  of  my  life.     Glory  and  eter- 


392  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

nity  touch  my  shoulders  and  guide  me  in  the  paths 
of  victory." 

The  increase  of  stature  and  wisdom  which  be- 
longs to  the  square  is  the  inheritance  of  all  the 
people.  Before  the  Fifty  prophets  of  Law  appear 
upon  the  blue  of  "his  stripes,"  America  must  be 
free.  What  is  it  in  yonder  sky  beckoning?  What 
does  it  say?  Aloft  there  flapping  and  flapping — 
it  is  alive — it  is  full  of  people — it  has  children — I 
hear  it — it  talks  to  me — O  it  is  wonderful;  it 
stretches — it  spreads  and  runs  so  fast;  O  my 
father,  it  covers  the  whole  sky.  . 

"  No  longer  let   our   children   deem  us   riches   and 

peace  alone. 
"  That  pennant  I  would  be  and  must  be.     O  banner 

so  broad,  with  stripes, 
I  sing  you  only.    O  you  banner  leading  the  day." 

Today  Life  passes  over  that  natural  bridge 
which  carries  from  generation  to  generation 
through  regeneration.  A  new  World  is  discovered. 
Let  us  mark  where  we  drive  the  first  stake  and  light 
the  first  camp  fires.  Let  us  look  to  the  promise  of 
our  new  genesis  lest  we  fail  the  Lord  of  our  gene- 
rative beginning.  "For  every  house  is  builded  by 
some  man;  but  he  that  builds  all  things  is  God. 
And  Moses  verily  was  faithful  in  his  house,  as  a 
servant,  for  a  testimony  of  those  things  which  were 
to  be  spoken  after:  But  Christ  as  a  son  over  his 
own  house;  whose  house  are  we  if  we  hold  fast  the 
confidence  and  rejoicing  of  the  hope  firm  unto  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  393 

end."  Now  in  all  nature  this  Epistle  of  Paul  will 
have  13  chapters.  And  the  whole  Hebrew  book 
will  be  written  to  the  generation  which  is  to  bring 
UP  the  fifth  principle  of  the  original  base. 

Today  the  benediction  of  Paul  is  upon  us,  the 
children  of  a  new  covenant  written  within  the  first. 
"Now  the  God  of  Peace,  that  brought  again  from 
the  dead  our  Lord  Jesus,  that  great  shepherd  of 
the  sheep,  through  the  blood  of  the  everlasting 
covenant,  make  you  perfect  in  every  good  work  to 
do  his  will,  working  in  you  that  which  is  well 
pleasing  in  his  sight  through  Jesus  Christ,  to 
whom  be  glory  for  ever  and  ever."  (Written  to 
the  Hebrews  from  Italy  by  Timothy.) 


CHAPTER  in 

"AND  A  BRANCH  SHALL  GROW  OUT  OF 
HIS  ROOTS" 

"  He  made  also  ten  lavers  and  put  five  on  the  right 
hand  and  five  on  the  left  to  wash  in  them :  such  things 
as  they  offered  for  burnt  offering  they  washed  in 
them;  but  the  sea  was  for  the  Priests  to  wash  in." 

— Bible. 

Now  when  Five  has  been  taken  from  Four,  and 
the  fast  of  the  Fourth  held  as  One  which  is  four 
square,  know  that  the  city  AI  has  been  taken.  This 
city  is  the  city  of  the  first  and  last.  AI  must  be 
written,  by  that  fifth  principle  of  resurrection 
which  is  the  Phoenix,  as  one  (1)  in  which  "distance 
and  no  space  was  seen"  and  thus  "either  was  the 
other's  mine."  There  is  no  understanding  of  this 
Constitution  without  understanding  of  the  square 
stone  instinctively  rejected  by  the  generative  sense 
of  interpretation.  At  a  place  nature  ceases  genera- 
tion. This  place  cannot  be  sensed  by  the  magnetic 
law.  Here  the  world  turns  from  personal  leader- 
ship unto  natural  law,  of  returns  to  elemental 
chaos.  Here  the  office  of  the  Nine  must  be  under- 
stood from  the  place  from  which  it  is  chosen.  The 
Constitution  has  written  the  President  of  this 
natural  Union  in  place  as  the  Fifth  principle  of 
the  square,  giving  to  him  power  to  appoint  the 
Nine  who  shall  serve  for  Life.  His  right  to  ap- 
point the  Nine  is  derived  from  his  Fifth  place  in 
394 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  395 

the  square.     This  square  shall  yet  be  a  Land  of 
Shinar  to  these  States,  a  land  where  Law  reigns 
and  the  cup  of  life  runneth  over.    The  Nine  at  the 
apex  of  the  national  head  lies  also  in  the  center  of 
the  square  with  the  Fifth  principle  of  the  square 
body;  it  is  related  not  only   to    the    apex  of  the 
square  but    to  the  base;  its  whole  law  is  a  law  of 
fourth  dimension.     The  fourth  exists  only  for  in- 
terpretation,  having   no  personal  life,   following 
fixed  lines  of  relations,  having    no    opinions  which 
are  personal;  it  lies  in  the  Court  of  supreme  ser- 
vice to  the  Law  under  the  principles  which  is  the 
woman    principle.       It  is    that     court    which   is 
Canaan,  "A  servant  of  servants  unto  thy  breth- 
ren," its  service  being  ever  to  interpret  the  even 
body  of  the  one  body  of  law  which  giveth  light. 
If  the  Fourth  were  only  the  fourth  it  could  have  no 
personal  physical  life  on  any    plane.     But — and 
this  the  one  real  mysticism  to  be  remembered — the 
fourth  finds  its  reality,  in  physical  form,  when  we 
see  the  fourth  ever  becoming  the  first.    Now  Ten  is 
the  first  number  of  Paradise.     Earth  then  is  para- 
dise when  we  see  the  full   value  of    the  first  one 
squared.    The  first  pyramid  is  Four,  and  one  which 
is  I,  in  the  midst.   The  book  of  Numbers  will  ever 
open  at  the  Fourth  place.    We  will  see  the  founda- 
tion as  Four,  and  its  central  one    as    Nine,  or  I. 
We  today  return  to  our  basic  Thirteen  or  1  plus 
3  to  see  four. 

There  is  no  curse  but  the  curse  which  cannot 
see  first  and  last  with  two  eyes.    Our  Fourth  regen- 


396  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

erative  dimension  shall  be  seen  also  as  a  First  gen- 
erative one.  Woman  as  the  Fourth  dimension  of 
the  body  of  law — existing  only  for  interpretation 
— has  no  vote.  But  upon  the  Fourth  is  laid  the 
dual  tax.  It  must  be  written  in  the  first  physical 
fact  as  one  descending  from  above.  The  first  eye 
shall  be  Nine,  and  man  has  risen  from  the  first  one 
to  the  first  number  of  paradise,  which  covers  all. 
Nature  clothes  the  Court  of  the  Nine  with  the 
garment  of  the  woman  and  writes  upon  its  head  the 
glory  of  her  head.  The  garment  of  the  woman 
conceals  the  basic  dual  feet  of  all  nature,  even  as 
the  square  conceals  its  own  balanced  duality.  All 
persons  in  authority  are  clothed  by  life  with  this 
seamless  robe  of  Law.  All  authority  is  derived 
from  that  dimension  which  is  the  woman.  For  this 
cause  ought  she  as  womanhood  to  be  clothed  with 
the  authority  which  she  bestows.  Democracy  came 
into  the  world  for  the  woman  bringing  the  author- 
ity of  the  head  which  is  Christ.  Authority  is  born 
when  the  Third  Day  is  born.  Life  accepts  no 
third  term  which  does  not  include  the  woman.  On  a 
third  day  the  woman  shall  go  in  unto  the  king, 
though  not  according  to  the  law.  On  this  day  life 
puts  off  its  mourning  garments,  for  the  woman 
possesses  her  own.  "And  on  the  third  day,  when 
she  had  ended  her  prayer  she  laid  away  her  mourn- 
ing garments,  and  put  on  her  glorious  apparel.  .  . 
.  And  having  passed  all  the  doors,  she  stood  before 
the  king,  who  sat  upon  his  royal  throne,  and  was 
clothed  with  all  his  robes  of  majesty,  all  glittering 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  397 

with  gold  and  precious  stones  and  he  was  very 
dreadful.  .  Then  lifting  up  his  countenance  that 
shone  with  majesty,  he  looked  very  fiercely  upon 
her.  .  Then  God  changed  the  spirit  of  the  king 
into  mildness,  who  in  fear  leaped  from  his  throne 
.  .  and  said  unto  her,  Esther,  I  am  thy  brother; 
be  of  good  cheer."  This  reading  must  fall  in  "the 
Tenth  chapter  after  the  Greek,"  "neither  in  the  He- 
brew, nor  in  the  Chaldee,"  in  all  the  earth. 

Tomorrow,  in  the  Congress  of  the  United  States, 
in  the  presence  of  the  intelligence  of  the  nation,  a 
voice  will  again  arise  to  say,  "Home  is  her  place. 
She  shall  not  speak  at  the  ballot  box  of  Democ- 
racy by  the  authority  of  the  masculine  law."  By 
the  authority  of  the  masculine  law  the  One  Lord  of 
Life  will  never  speak  in  the  ballot  box  of  this  na- 
tion. The  masculine  law  no  longer  reigns.  Origi- 
nal elements  have  broken  down.  The  will  of  the 
masculine  law  faces  its  last  day.  "And  the  four 
angels  were  loosed,  which  were  prepared  for  an 
hour  and  a  day  and  a  month  and  a  year,  for  to  slay 
the  third  part  of  men."  And  the  Fifth  angel 
sounded. 

"Home  is  her  place."  Home  is  also  the  place  of 
the  President  of  the  United  States.  An  instinct 
has  led  the  presidential  figure  to  expand  his  do- 
main, setting  aside  limited  interpretation  of  his 
home  rights.  The  people  have  accepted  his  per- 
sonal interpretation.  He  may  go,  if  he  desires, 
and  congressional  appropriation  shall  ease  the 
way.  "The  Constitution  is  out  of  date  on  this 


398  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

point,"  is  the  interpretation.  If  he  wants  to  go, 
let  him.  He  may  use  his  pleasure.  Wherever  the 
flag  goes,  the  United  States  goes,  the  home  domain 
goes ;  and,  though  temporarily  in  a  foreign  coun- 
try, with  the  flag,  the  Head  is  still  in  the  States. 
Wherever  the  stars  and  stripes  wave  is  the  home 
domain,  for  the  President.  His  home  duties  need 
not  be  neglected.  He  goes  to  strengthen  the  Na- 
tion abroad.  This  is  home  duty.  "Let  him  go." 
He  goes — saluting  the  womanhood  of  the  Nation. 
She  awakens  and  looks.  She  too  will  enlarge  her 
domain,  though  not  according  to  the  law.  She, 
too,  will  follow  the  flag.  Where  the  flag  is,  is  home. 
And  thus  ever  "the  call  of  the  slave  is  one  with 
the  master's  call ;  and  the  master  salutes  the  slave." 

"  Everything  is  duly  in  order.  .  .  . 
What  has  arrived  is  in  place,  and  what  waits  is  in 

place. 

The  truths  of  the  earth  continually  wait,  they  are 
not  so  concealed  either." 

Woman  intends  to  enter  that  foreign  political 
domain  which  is  within  the  circle  of  her  home.  If 
reason  cannot  establish  her  right  to  enter  there,  she 
too  will  defy  the  law,  and  Life  itself  will  evoke  for 
her  force,  in  the  name  of  Law.  Her  instinct  is 
born  of  the  divine  right  of  expansion.  Instinct 
must  be  defined  by  law,  else  that  which  is  lawful 
in  instinct  becomes  lawless  in  expression.  Wom- 
an's appeal  is  not  for  personal  power  but  for  the 
power  of  Law.  The  problem  is  not,  What  is  her 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  399 

reason  or  What  does  she  expect  to  gain,  by  seem- 
ing defiance  of  original  interpretation;  the  move- 
ment is  a  motion  of  Life,  and  woman  is  but  a  rela- 
tive force  in  the  command  of  life.  She  stands  before 
Congress  defining  her  plea  from  the  plane  of  rea- 
son; she  carries  no  concealed  weapons.  "My  hus- 
band is  there,  my  son,  my  father,  the  territory  is 
home  domain,  I  need  no  protection  from  my  own; 
I  will  carry  the  whole  body  of  love  over  into  that 
domain  which  is  but  the  circumference  of  my  cen- 
tral right."  Will  the  people  again  accept  the  ren- 
dering which  expands  from  a  center  in  opposite 
directions  ? 

Woman  knocks  at  the  door  of  interpretation, 
not  in  defiance  of  the  Constitution,  not  to  enlarge 
the  influence  of  any  political  party,  but  with  the 
Constitution  of  the  United  States  in  her  hand,  cir- 
cling the  childhood  of  the  world  with  that  vision 
of  the  infinite  beyond  which  is  her  birthright  and 
her  inheritance  from  on  high.  She  comes  with  no 
meaningless  "because."  She  salutes  the  manhood 
of  America  from  out  the  nativity  of  the  Republic. 
With  her  stand  the  heroes  of  the  past.  She  comes 
with  the  faith  of  the  past  clothed  with  the  might 
of  its  reason.  Her  appeal  is  to  that  Court  which 
is  a  Supreme  One,  clothed  with  her  robe  of  truth, 
with  the  glory  of  the  woman  upon  its  head ;  her  ap- 
peal is  for  interpretation  where  she  is  written — 
her  appeal  is  to  the  Nine. 

Her  One  plea  is  the  plea  of  creation  for  a  more 
perfect  union  in  the  Law.  She  proposes  to  the 


400  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

manhood  of  these  states  that  marriage  which  is  the 
marriage  of  dual  humanity  to  the  Law,  in  the  leap- 
year  of  life.  She  pleads  for  this  leap  from  dark- 
ness to  life  in  the  brain  of  a  race,  a  race  which  is 
today  selling  the  One  body  of  its  life  and  buying  a 
field  in  which  to  bury  strangers.  .Her  plea  is  for 
the  preservation  of  the  "shapes"  which  have  arisen 
from  out  a  divine  nativity.  The  proposition  she 
brings  is  the  ultimate  of  all  those  days  which  we 
call  election  days,  and  which  we  have  chosen  to 
celebrate  in  the  leap-years  of  the  Law,  looking 
toward  that  day  hidden  in  all  election  days,  when 
America,  listening  to  the  voices  of  the  past  which 
have  defined  the  future  in  all  national  "shapes," 
shall  elect  the  Law  to  be  our  King ;  and  the  states 
from  sea  to  sea  shall,  in  the  silences  of  understand- 
ing, shout  till  the  earth  be  rent  and  graves  yield 
up  their  dead,  God  save  the  King. 

At  the  door  of  Congress  woman  stands  today 
with  her  great  petition.  Does  the  petition  repre- 
sent her?  It  represents  the  foundation  of  this  Re- 
public, the  blood  shed,  the  lives  given,  the  ideal 
slipping  from  our  grasp;  it  represents  the  body 
of  the  Law  which  gave  us  birth  and  which  ignor- 
ance has  slain  and  is  still  slaying.  Is  the  voice 
of  pleading  her  voice?  "Behold  I  stand  at  the  door 
and  knock." 

Shall  she  be  turned  from  the  door  of  Congress 
back  to  the  States?  Today  the  issue  in  the  states 
where  the  battle  is  fought  for  her  ballot  right  is 
her  issue.  In  these  states  she  must  fight  the  gov- 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  401 

ernment,  the  liquor  traffic,  the  corporations — 
the  devil.  In  the  state  the  battle  is  a  woman's 
battle,  and  the  nation  is  indifferent  to  her  success. 
Its  sympathies  lie  with  her  defeat.  The  whole 
problem  is  disgracefully  considered  as  a  personal 
woman  problem,  a  male-female  question.  The 
State  fight  is  ignorantly  considered  as  the  way  to 
settle  the  problem.  This  fight  is  thrust  upon  her 
but  is  nevertheless  an  outrage  upon  her  and  an 
insult  to  the  triune  son  of  creation.  From  this 
fight  she  should  be  protected.  It  means  a  hand-to- 
hand  contest  with  the  legalized  liquor  traffic,  the 
child  of  the  masculine  law.  Is  there  not  manhood 
enough  in  the  national  head  to  take  her  petition 
from  the  hand  of  Life  and  bury  it,  not  in  the  com- 
mittee room,  but  with  the  Law?  Where  are  the 
Founders?  No  youth  today  with  star  upon  his 
brow?  No  imitators  of  the  past?  Are  works  now 
to  be  done  here  in  the  spirit  of  other  lands?  Four 
states  have  planted  the  seed  of  the  regeneration  in 
woman's  enfranchisement.  Four — to  the  eye  of 
holy  see — covers  the  whole  generation  arriving  at 
the  Nine.  The  regeneration  moves  quickly  from 
first  to  last.  America  is  the  regenerative  nation 
with  the  motion  of  her  divine  inheritance  in  her 
blood.  Life  is  ready.  Law  is  ready. 

The  Sixteenth  amendment  shall  have  to  do  with  a 
reformed  dual  basis  reaching  to  that  upper  house 
which  lies  in  the  region  of  intelligence.  The  Six- 
teenth amendment  will  fall  in  a  place  which  is 
under  a  law.  This  place  will  lift  up  its  law  and 


402  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

the  people  will  respond  according  to  their  power 
to  discern  the  reality  from  the  shadow.  The 
Fifteenth  had  to  do  with  the  seed  O,  falling  in 
fifteenth  place  of  the  English  law,  which  pushes 
all  fact  throuGH  to  a  fourth  dimension.  The  seed 
O  is  ever  related  to  the  mother  darkness  of  crea- 
tive soil.  The  Sixteenth  amendment  falls  in  the 
Sabbath,  under  the  law  Lamech.  It  will  have  to 
do  with  the  representative  duality.  Here  we  face 
the  command  of  the  Sixteenth  to  mind  your  P. 
Here  a  seed  sown  will  be  lifted  up.  Shall  it  be  the 
generative  or  the  regenerative  seed?  The  genera- 
tive limit  is  here  reached  at  the  place  which  is  under 
the  Seven  Law.  Here  Life  weds  Two  to  the  One 
Law.  When  Life  weds  Law  in  these  states  woman 
is  enfranchised  to  enfranchise  Law.  The  instinct 
of  womanhood  has  awakened  her,  on  time.  She  is 
the  Sixteenth  amendment.  Will  America  deny  her 
place?  Life  cannot  tarry  for  the  primitive  con- 
flict of  every  state  over  the  right  of  the  female  to 
vote  with  the  male.  Life  has  no  such  problem. 
The  female  shall  not  vote :  the  male  has  voted  and 
shall  not  vote  again.  The  issue  is,  Shall  Law  cast 
the  vote  of  the  people?  The  hour  when  Law  shall 
be  king  is  upon  the  world.  America  is  bound  by 
divine  right  of  birth  to  first  declare  the  presence 
of  the  divine  one  in  national  intelligence  and  will. 
Woman  is  the  golden  west  of  the  new  Empire, 
pledged  to  write  the  garden  of  the  north,  estab- 
lishing the  north  and  the  south  in  equal  opposite 
function  for  the  glory  of  the  soul  of  the  whole 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  403 

earth.  America  was  born  of  fearless  faith  to  be 
born  again  of  fearless  reason.  Today  reason 
awakens  the  war  measure  in  the  national  body  for 
the  defence  of  the  Head  of  the  One  Law.  Today 
the  Union  is  in  danger. 

The  hope  of  the  world  is  not  in  the  ballot  of 
woman.  The  hope  of  life  is  its  soul.  The  hope  of 
America  is  in  that  new  soul  and  its  atmosphere 
which  manhood  and  womanhood  shall  create  in  the 
ballot  boxes  of  the  Law,  moved  upon  by  the  Holy 
Ghost.  The  enfranchisement  of  womanhood  will 
be  but  a  sign  that  the  nation  has  turned  to  the  One 
Law.  As  a  sign  it  must  fall  under  the  law  of  the 
word,  which  when  born  is  at  once  a  positive,  or 
the  man,  whose  real  life  lies  withm  the  positive 
form.  The  man,  having  given  political  birth  to 
the  woman  now,  with  the  woman,  gives  birth  to  the 
Law,  to  see  only  the  Law  over  all. 

In  assuming  the  place  in  political  life  by  the 
will  of  creation  and  its  Constitution  of  Liberty  in 
these  States,  woman  needs  no  guide  or  teacher.  She 
has  turned  to  the  law  no  more  to  be  taught  of  men, 
churches,  orders,  or  organizations.  Knowledge  of 
her  own  law  is  her  only  protection.  She  has  es- 
caped from  the  "dread  circle"  not  to  again  bind 
herself.  Her  church  must  be  a  free  church  where 
the  Law  is  honored.  Where  the  Law  is  honored 
the  voice,  "follow  me,"  is  unheard.  Today  is  the 
dawning  day  of  regeneration,  when  no  man  shall 
teach  his  brother.  Man  shall  seek  his  Creator  in 
his  own  being,  where  the  one  name  is  written  in 


404  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

letters  of  blood.  He  is  to  look  to  the  blood  of  re- 
generation for  his  redemption  and  in  looking 
establish  that  blood.  A  new  relation  of  inherent 
forces  will  mean  a  new  national  body  and  blood. 
A  new  relation  of  force  means  new  ideas  born  of 
new  force,  the  result  is  new  power  in  the  race. 

Woman  is  entering  a  new  creative  plane  lying 
opposite  the  generative  life  to  which  she  has  been 
bound.  In  this  regenerative  life  she  learns  the 
truths  of  the  generation.  There  is  not  one  prece- 
dent to  show  her  the  way ;  not  one  nation  to  show 
her  the  light  for  her  footsteps;  not  one  man  or 
woman  to  lead.  Here  she  is  alone  with  her  Lord 
and  Master.  As  she  has  turned  unto  the  Law  the 
Law  has  turned  unto  her.  She  is  to  walk  without 
fear.  As  she  recognizes  the  Law,  she  is  recog- 
nized by  the  Law.  She  may  turn  backward  the 
pages  of  history  to  find  not  one  ray  of  light:  the 
records  are  destroyed.  She  has  only  the  path  of 
the  raven  as  a  guide.  Her  mission  lies  in  another 
direction.  She  redeems  that  original  motion  and 
justifies  it;  she  does  not  follow  it.  She  is  sent 
forth  to  SEE.  She  is  to  fight  the  battles  of  the 
Law,  and  her  shots  are  to  hit  the  bull's  I  in  the 
midst  of  the  circle  of  Life.  She  is  to  see  in  this 
I  the  Fifth  principle  of  the  square. 

She  is  coming  to  full  emancipation  of  life  in 
America  before  that  of  any  other  nation,  to  do 
that  which  has  not  been  done  before.  Here  the 
ballot  of  Liberty  is  to  be  given  its  place  within 
the  body  of  the  Lord;  she  is  to  bring  forth  the 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  405 

son  of  God,  who  is  to  be  the  son  of  man.  Not  only 
man,  but  nations  are  to  know  the  Lord  God.  In 
her  enfranchisement  the  word  God  will  be  seen 
written  in  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States. 
Where  God  is  the  woman  is.  Where  the  woman  is 
not  the  Lord  God  is  without  conscious  body  of 
flesh. 

Woman  will  carry  to  every  problem  the  normal 
relations  which  produce  the  force  which  sends  forth 
ideas  born  of  normal  relation ;  for  back  of  Thought 
must  lie  creative  relation  of  physical  forces  in  the 
brain.  Woman  will  bring  to  all  problems  the  con- 
ditions of  normal  birth  in  the  Law  of  creation  and 
from  her  place  will  declare,  "He  is  risen  indeed." 

Woman  comes  to  the  political  life  of  the  world 
to  bring  womanhood  and  the  woman,  that  men 
shall  no  longer  try  to  conceive  a  universal  govern- 
ment among  themselves.  She  comes  that  these 
United  States  may  speak  the  truth  in  body  and 
brain,  and  "speaking  the  truth,  may  grow  up  into 
him  in  all  things,  which  is  the  head,  even  Christ." 
Woman  will  enter  history  as  a  political  factor  in 
America  at  the  first  note  of  a  new  octave  of  evolu- 
tion. While  she  comes  under  the  law  of  the  second 
covenant  she  falls  at  once  under  the  law  of  the  new 
first.  She  is  the  regeneration  entering  at  once 
upon  an  experience,  which  is  to  her  a  Genesis,  an 
awakening  by  the  Law.  Without  knowledge  of 
the  One  Law  she  will  fall  under  the  primitive  mo- 
tion, seeing  the  self  and  thus  destroying  the  square. 
She  comes  as  the  first  note  of  a  new  octave.  That 


406  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

note  is  above  and  below.  Her  business  is  to  strike 
at  once  the  Nine  which  lies  in  the  High  see.  She 
must  know  the  high  C  and  the  law  of  its  triune 
activity,  a  law  and  a  place  which  men  have  not 
known.  She  must  know  the  difference  between 
one  above  and  one  below;  the  difference  between 
being  nothing  before  one  (01)  and  nothing  after 
one.  She  must  know  how  to  subtract  nine  from 
eight,  and  this  will  be  all  the  educational  test  the 
Law  asks.  She  is  to  write  the  seed  of  the  woman 
after,  not  before  One.  She  is  then  to  descend  to 
the  purgatory  of  creation,  knowing,  "I,  even  I, 
am  Beatrice." 

She  has  no  political  text  book  save  the  one  Bible 
of  Nature.  This  is  a  book  entirely  about  her 
natural  kingdom  and  its  form.  From  cover  to 
cover  it  has  fought  for  her  emancipation.  She  has 
been  a  "rock-a-bye  baby  upon  the  tree  top"  in  the 
nation's  life;  now  "down  comes  rock-a-bye  baby 
and  all**  to  stand  upon  the  ground.  The  church 
has  used  her  to  further  personal  ends.  The  state 
has  used  her  to  further  personal  ends.  Men  have 
used  her  for  themselves.  Now  she  is  to  use  church 
and  state  and  man  for  the  glory  of  the  One  Law. 
She  is  to  make  sacrifice  and  forget.  She  has  been 
emancipated  by  the  Lord  God,  to  be  the  bride  of 
a  new  Heaven  and  a  new  earth.  She  needs  the 
rights  which  are  to  be  hers ;  she  needs  the  wrongs 
which  have  been  hers.  She  brings  nothing  to 
America  save  a  new  relation  of  creative  force.  AH 
burdens  and  reforms  rest  upon  the  might  and 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  407 

natural  evolution  of  that  relation.  She  brings  a 
seed  which  the  earth  and  the  sun  and  the  dews  of 
creation  nourish.  She  brings  the  regenerative 
seed  normally  conceived  and  lays  that  seed  in  the 
bosom  of  the  great  natural  mother.  She  comes 
as  the  Eighth  book  of  the  Bible,  which  is  the 
record  of  the  way  of  all  creations;  the  same  yes- 
terday, today  and  forever.  She  brings  the  seed 
of  the  house  of  David  to  its  own.  "And  Naomi 
took  the  child,  and  laid  it  in  her  bosom,  and  be- 
came nurse  unto  it." 

She  brings  a  new  soul  and  a  new  atmosphere 
born  of  that  soul.  She  creates  the  soul;  the  soul 
creates  its  atmosphere.  She  has  been  the  lost 
dimension  which  we  call  the  fourth,  born  of  the 
risen  second.  She  is  entering  political  life  as  a 
new  plane  of  nature.  She  is  to  sustain  the  square, 
which  is  One.  She  enters  the  new  life  that  Life 
may  ascend.  Her  ascension  is  related  to  the  ascen- 
sion of  the  Law.  She  bears  no  relation  now  to  the 
past;  her  following  is  to  be  of  the  Law.  In  her 
advent  personal  leadership  has  been  beheaded. 
She  comes  neither  to  lead  nor  to  follow.  She  will 
not  lead;  she  will  not  therefore  follow.  She  is  in 
the  ascension  and  is  partaker  of  life  with  Law. 
She  comes  as  A.D.  to  compass  B.C.  She  comes  to 
her  place  as  a  "Founder"  with  the  Law,  and  He  is 
the  head.  She  is  no  longer  a  negative  body  of 
force  but  an  equal  dual  opposite ;  a  positive-nega- 
tive-neutral one  of  a  Greek  Cross :  the  cross  not  of 
victory  in  war,  but  of  victory  in  Art.  She  comes 


408  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

to  bring  the  Greek  Cross  to  the  governments  of 
the  world;  she  is  a  whole-triune-one  in  her  own 
being.  She  comes  as  a  natural  triune  body  of 
force,  an  immaculate  conception  of  nature  to  form 
the  natural  body  of  holy  trinity.  She  comes  as  a 
city  four  square,  twelve-gated  from  the  sea. 
Though  immaculately  conceived  by  nature's  im- 
maculate law  of  Fourth  dimension,  she  comes  as  an 
original  Founder  to  be  under  the  primitive  law 
compelling  that  law  to  make  sacrifice  of  itself.  She 
sacrifices  the  fundamental  law  or  is  sacrificed  by 
it.  She  is  to  recognize  the  whole  truth.  Her 
pathway  is  in  the  house  of  John,  to  hold  that 
square  house  "till  I  come."  She  is  to  stand  in  the 
place  where  Life's  heroes  are  born.  She  is  called 
for  sacrifice  of  the  self  which  may  meet  no  reward 
until  that  "day  when  I  gather  up  my  jewels." 
Entire  understanding  of  her  place  and  the  work 
she  is  called  for  is  not  possible  in  this  day  of  un- 
derstanding. In  "the  third  Heaven"  she  meets  the 
unspeakable  things  which  establish  Faith.  With- 
out are  wolves,  natural  elements  which  will  devour 
and  believe  her  not.  These  elements  she  may 
know  by  the  law.  The  law  of  the  denial  of  the  re- 
generative relations  is  the  same  upon  all  planes. 
"And  Jesus  knew  from  the  beginning  who  they 
were  that  believed  not,  and  who  should  betray 
him."  "No  man  can  come  unto  me,  except  it  were 
given  unto  him  of  my  father."  "From  this  time 
many  of  his  disciples  went  back  and  walked  no 
more  with  him." 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  409 

She  comes  to  love  her  enemies.  Having  the 
square  vision,  she  remembers  that  there  is  but  one 
to  betray  and  he  is  of  the  Twelve.  She  looks  for 
him,  not  among  her  enemies  but  within  herself. 
The  law  has  been  betrayed  by  the  first  positive 
one  in  all  activities  of  life.  This  one,  world  with- 
out end,  at  last,  throws  down  the  thirty  pieces  of 
•silver  in  the  temple  and  hangs  himself,  bursting 
asunder  in  the  midst,  where  all  that  is  material  and 
physical  finds  redemption  in  the  Lord  of  the  midst. 

Woman  comes  to  the  governments  of  the  world 
as  a  Founder  in  the  regeneration  to  commit  the 
natural  sins  of  the  "Founder,"  unless  she  bring 
with  her  knowledge  of  and  faith  in  the  only  triune 
body  of  force  and  its  holy  square  figure.  She  will 
commit  the  sins  of  the  founder  unless  her  one  eye 
be  the  eternal  whole  I,  the  "general  I"  of  the 
square-deific.  Her  first  devil  will  be  man's  first 
devil;  her  redeemer  will  be  man's  redeemer.  As  a 
Founder  she  will  face  the  temptations  which  all 
founders  face  and  to  which  all  Founders  have 
yielded.  Failure  lies  at  a  place  under  a  law. 
Treason  lies  in  that  forgetfulness  of  the  One  Law 
which  denies  the  square  triune  One,  and  looks 
toward  the  magnetic  center  for  the  victory  of 
ascension. 

She  comes  to  remember  that  the  Monistic  Law 
of  the  Universe  is  a  Law  of  Holy  square  trinity 
born  of  a  union  of  opposites,  upon  which  rests  the 
whole  round  sphere.  She  will  remember  this  H 
law.  She  brings  the  square  stone  which  the  build- 


410  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

ers  rejected,  because  the  primitive  law  instinctively 
rejects  the  ascension  which  rests  upon  this  stone. 
She  comes  a  youthful  Founder  to  "remember  now 
thy  creator  in  the  days  of  thy  youth."  She  is 
born  not  only  of  the  Father  but  of  the  Father  and 
the  son,  that  the  Father  and  the  son  may  live 
again  in  her.  She  is  born  into  a  house  of  fourth 
dimension,  to  remember  the  law  of  that  house ;  this 
remembrance  is  her  sure  foundation.  She  is  en- 
tering at  John  to  remain  in  that  house,  and  to  lift 
the  earth  to  the  midst  as  heaven  descends  to  meet 
earth.  She  comes  to  hold  the  body  of  the  Law 
upon  earth.  Her  coming  has  no  political  signifi- 
cance; she  comes  to  establish  a  new  earth  and  to 
lift  up  creation.  She  comes  to  cut  out  the  curse 
which  rests  upon  beginnings,  and  to  escape  the 
beast  and  his  image.  "Every  founder  is  con- 
founded by  the  graven  image;  for  his  image  is 
falsehood  and  there  is  no  breath  in  them. 
Every  man  is  brutish  in  his  knowledge."  She 
comes  not  as  man  or  woman  but  as  man  who  has 
given  birth  to  Eve:  she  comes  with  understanding 
of  the  Law  of  the  woman  neither  male  nor  female. 
In  the  conflict  which  she  has  waged  for  the  right 
of  suffrage  she  has  accumulated  necessary  physical 
force,  physical  experience,  and  physical  vigor; 
all  as  an  offering  unto  the  Law  which  says,  The 
physical  shall  express  first.  In  all  she  is  doing  she 
will  remember  she  is  falling  under  the  universal 
law  of  universal  force.  Within  the  law  of  physical 
force  lies  another  over  and  through  all.  Physical 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  411 

force  will  naturally  deny  the  one  triune  relativity 
in  which  alone  is  strength  and  immortality,  but  in- 
telligence will  bring  knowledge  of  another  Law, 
that  the  regeneration  may  move  in  the  new  genera- 
tion covering  and  glorifying  all.  She  generates 
in  these  States  new  laws  and  new  orders  from  a  re- 
generative basis. 

She  comes  believing  that  all  men  are  free  and 
equal  and  that  governments  derive  their  just  pow- 
ers from  the  consent  of  the  governed.  She  comes 
with  the  spirit  of  fire;  she  has  thrown  off  a  yoke 
which  was  brutish  and  full  of  falsehood;  she  has 
pitched  unjust  taxation  into  the  harbor  of  a  see, 
not  under  the  reign  of  King  George  the  Third  but 
in  the  reign  of  George  the  Fifth  in  all  the  earth, 
a  reign  which  by  the  authority  of  Lamech,  the 
first  Rock  of  the  See,  may  establish  the  universal 
I  of  Life,  lifting  up  the  Host,  revealing  the  body 
which  is  Christ  unto  all  the  earth,  while  every 
thing  that  hath  breath  praises  the  Lord  whose 
name  is  One,  who  bringeth  Light  and  life  more 
abundant  into  the  world. 

America  has  covered  the  area  of  physical  ex- 
pression. The  physical  force  of  national  life  has 
blessed  us,  lying  now  at  Life's  place  of  ascension. 
Physical  force  is  a  sacred  animal  existing  in  law 
to  carry  across  the  desert  sands  of  generative  be- 
ginnings. Life  has  its  altar  upon  all  planes  where 
we  bring  our  animals  for  sacrifices  and  ascension, 
and  Abraham,  the  twice-born  man,  pitches  his  tent 
only  where  he  may  build  an  altar  unto  the  Law. 


412  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Man  forms  this  altar.  Every  day  he  makes  sacri- 
fice, for  every  hour  the  flesh  and  blood  of  his  being 
brings  animals  for  sacrifice  to  this  altar  where 
incense  is  sweet  and  law  is  sure,  bringing  to  the 
sacrifice  an  alteration  which  is  transmutation, 
which  is  ascension.  Man  who  knows  the  Law 
knows  when  to  build  the  altar  and  when  to  make 
sacrifice  of  the  original  elements  which  are  first 
fruits  of  brain  and  body,  for  sacrifice,  that  Life 
may  bestow  upon  him  life  more  abundant  as  he 
brings  these  physical  sacrificial  gifts  unto  the  Law. 
America  today  is  called  to  bring  for  sacrifice  her 
first  fruit  and  best  beloved  I,  the  "me"  of  her  own 
body,  her  own  loved  conception  of  her  own  per- 
sonality and  her  idea  of  national  supremacy,  her 
only  son. 

"Take  now  thy  son,  thine  only  son  Isaac,  whom 
thou  lovest,  and  get  thee  into  the  land  of  MoriAH : 
and  offer  him  there  for  a  burnt  offering  upon  one 
of  the  mountains  which  I  will  tell  thee  of.  And 
Abraham  rose  up  early,  and  went  unto  the  place 
of  which  God  had  told  him.  Then  on  the  third  day 
Abraham  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  the  place  afar 
off.  .  .  .  And  Abraham  took  the  wood  of  the 
burnt  offering,  and  laid  it  upon  Isaac  his  son ;  and 
he  took  the  fire  in  his  hand,  and  a  knife — and  they 
went  both  of  them  together.  And  they  came  to 
the  place  which  God  had  told  him  of — and  bound 
Isaac  his  son,  and  laid  him  on  the  altar  upon  the 
wood.  And  Abraham  stretched  forth  his  hand, 
and  took  the  knife  to  slay  his  son.  And  the  angel 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  413 

of  the  Lord  called  unto  him  out  of  heaven,  and 
said,  Abraham,  Abraham:  and  he  said,  Here  am  I. 
And  he  said,  Lay  not  thine  hand  upon  the  lad, 
neither  do  thou  any  thing  unto  him:  for  now  I 
know  that  thou  fearest  God,  seeing  thou  hast  not 
withheld  thy  son,  thine  only  son  from  me.  And 
Abraham  lifted  up  his  eyes  and  looked,  and  behold 
behind  him  a  ram  caught  in  a  thicket  by  his  horns : 
and  Abraham  went  and  took  the  ram,  and  offered 
him  up  for  a  burnt  offering  in  the  stead  of  his 
son." 

And  the  place?  "In  the  mount  of  the  Lord  it 
shall  be  seen." 

"Because  thou  hast  done  this  thing,  and  hast 
not  withheld  thy  son,  thine  only  son:  In  blessing 
I  will  bless  thee,  and  in  multiplying  thy  seed  as 
the  stars  of  the  heaven.  And  in  thy  seed  shall  all 
the  nations  of  the  earth  be  blessed:  because  thou 
hast  obeyed  my  voice.  .  .  .  And  Sarah  was  an 
hundred  and  seven  and  twenty  years  old:  these 
were  the  years  of  the  life  of  Sarah."  .  .  .  He  hath 
remembered  his  covenant  forever,  which  covenant 
he  made  with  Abraham,  and  his  oath  unto  Isaac, 
and  confirmed  the  same  unto  Jacob  for  a  law,  and 
to  Israel  for  an  everlasting  covenant.  Unto  thee 
will  I  give  the  land  of  Canaan." 

The  altar  serves  Man;  it  also  serves  that  which 
he  places  thereon.  The  founders  of  the  republic 
lived  that  we  might  live.  Today  we  die  that  they 
may  live  again.  They  served  Law;  today  we 
serve  Law. 


414  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

Today  America  brings  herself,  the  first  fruit 
of  herself,  to  the  altar  where  personality  dies 
that  One  may  live  born  of  Two.  In  this  giv- 
ing up  of  the  masculine  supremacy,  its  wars,  its 
relations,  its  taxation  without  representation,  its 
poverty  and  riches,  bringeth  its  whole  system,  it 
brings  the  raven  of  the  primitive  law  to  the  altar, 
which  takes  to  give  again,  receiving  from  him  the 
Dove  which  descends  upon  "my  beloved  son." 

"  From  this  session  interdict, 
Every  fowl  of  tyrant  wing, 
Save  the  eagle,  feather 'd  king, 
Keep  the  obsequies  so  strict." 

America  has  crossed  the  desert  of  normal  be- 
ginnings upon  animal  forces  sacred  to  the  desert. 
Today  we  turn  back,  tracing  a  pathway  in  the 
sands  marked  by  stones  of  law,  remaining  to  this 
day.  What  did  it  mean  unto  the  eternal  God,  that 
discovery  of  a  New  World?  That  voyage  of 
an  old  man  with  the  jewels  of  a  woman  planted  in 
his  faith?  That  native  Red  Man;  that  war  about 
taxation  and  revolution;  that  war  about  black 
men  and  secession  and  black  men  and  union; — 
What  means  it?  The. ceaseless  struggle  for  eman- 
cipation in  the  New  World  within  the  body  of  a 
United  States?  What  was  it  handed  down?  What 
yet  is  before  us?  The  past. 

Look  now  following  in  the  wake  of  years  across 
the  desert  lands — Scan  well  the  way — 'Tis  even 
time,  and  the  camels  are  coming.  And  Isaac  went 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  415 

out  at  even  time  and  looked,  and  saw.  And  Re- 
bekah  lifted  up  her  eyes  and  looked.  And  when 
she  saw  Isaac  she  lighted  off  the  camel. 

"And  it  shall  come  to  pass  that  when  the  virgin 
cometh  forth  to  draw  water,  and  I  say  to  her,  Give 
me  I  pray  thee,  a  little  water  of  the  pitcher  to 
drink.  .  .  .  Let  the  same  be  the  woman  whom  the 
Lord  hath  appointed  out  for  my  master's  son." 

The  animals  of  the  desert  have  served  us.  In 
the  golden  light  of  even-tide  we  ascend  from  these 
burden-bearers,  remembering  the  eternal  promise, 
At  even-tide  it  shall  be  light.  The  desert  is  past. 
We  will  light  the  woman  off  the  camel,  declaring 
unto  the  wide,  wide  world,  Blessed  is  the  nation 
whose  God  is  the  Lord. 

For  this  hour  Life  has  lived.  Today  we  chain 
Mars  within  the  eternal  body  of  Law  gathering 
lambs  for  the  bosom  of  men.  For  this  hour  the 
woman  has  waited  within  the  garden  of  Law,  feed- 
ing among  the  lilies  of  His  Love.  Seek  Thou, 
America,  her  might.  Go  thou  now  in  unto  the 
beloved  of  the  Lord.  She  has  woven  for  Thee  the 
true  purple  of  life ;  in  her  hand  she  holds  the  stars 
of  a  Pleides  for  thy  crown.  Seek  thou  out  of  the 
book  of  her  life  and  read;  sit  thou  down  with  her 
at  the  table  of  Thy  Law  till  the  day  break  and 
the  shadows  flee  away. 


CHAPTER  IV. 
"PASSAGE  TO  INDIA." 

"And  he  brought  him  to  the  top  of  Pisgah  and 
built  seven  altars,  and  he  offered  a  bullock  and  a  ram 
on  every  altar.  And  he  said  unto  Balak,  Stand  here 
by  the  offering,  while  I  meet  the  Lord  yonder." 

The  law  of  the  word  last  is  Seven  and  the  law 
of  the  word  -first  is  Nine.  "Brethren  be  not 
children  in  understanding  ...  in  understanding 
be  men."  "For  by  man  came  death,  by  man  came 
also  the  resurrection  from  the  dead." 

Today  we  face  the  law  of  the  last  which  must 
be  first.  Today  the  Nine  may  cast  its  shadow  of 
the  even  full  upon  the  earth.  Today  we  face  the 
music  of  the  original  plan.  The  law  of  the  seven 
is,  Sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  of  Hosts.  Here  the 
nation,  its  manhood,  its  womanhood,  its  statehood, 
lay  down  life  to  take  it  up  again,  realizing  that  we 
have  power  to  lay  down  our  life  and  power  to  take 
it  up  again  in  the  Law. 

America  has  been  her  own  Messiah  to  here  yield 
up  life  and  body  and  blood  unto  the  Messias. 
Today  we  make  that  sacrifice  which  lifts  the 
ashes  of  Pisgah  to  the  brow  of  the  human  race. 
'Tis  Ash  Wednesday  in  the  world.  Keeping  that 
which  is  Lent  from  physical  law,  by  life,  unto  the 
spiritual  understanding,  no  man  may  lose  the  way 
which  is  now  won.  For  this  hour  womanhood  has 
arisen  with  a  problem  which  has  commanded  the 

416 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  417 

light  of  Law.  The  light  is  come.  Today  the 
woman  stands  at  the  door  of  the  Congress  of  the 
United  States  with  the  great  petition  of  the  One 
Law  before  her,  asking  of  men  within  this  Con- 
gress to  substitute  the  reality  of  her  hand  for  the 
shadow  which  they  hold  in  theirs.  She  comes  as 
a  messenger  of  light  from  the  art  of  government, 
bringing  the  whole  note  of  regeneration.  She 
comes  asking  a  divine  inheritance  from  life,  an  in- 
heritance which  is  her  third  part  in  the  estate  of 
the  One  Law  of  creation.  She  comes  asking  the 
portion  which  is  her  lot. 

She  comes  to  bring  her  "thirds"  to  the  life 
which  has  given  unto  her  a  shadow  of  things  to 
come.  She  comes  as  the  perfected  instrument  for 
a  purpose  in  the  art  of  government.  She  comes 
to  sustain  the  neutral  of  life  for  the  ascending  law 
of  creation,  a  plane  which  all  generative  relation 
destroys  by  an  automatic  instinct.  Without  her 
there  is  no  sustained  regeneration,  and  regenera- 
tion exists  solely  in  the  power  to  sustain  the  neutral 
which  all  magnetic  forces  destroy,  by  the  will  of 
magnetic  law.  She  comes  insisting  that  she  no 
longer  be  kept  from  her  lawful  sphere  in  the  Law. 
As  man  has  held  her  to  the  sphere  of  influence,  he 
has  held  influence  to  the  plane  of  his  own  inter- 
pretation, an  interpretation  meaning  always  the 
inflence  of  the  female  over  the  male.  There  comes 
a  time  in  the  lives  of  men  and  nations  when  they 
grow  up.  Grown  men  resent  this  influence.  Grown 
women  refuse  to  give  it.  Woman  comes  today  to 


418  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

define  in  national  life  a  new  sphere  of  influence  for 
men,  a  sphere  influenced  by  the  One  Law.  She 
comes  in  the  name  of  God  to  kill  UTAH  from  see 
to  see,  writing  Utassa  where  Utah  stood. 

Generative  relations  have  been  set  up  in  church 
and  state  as  the  one  law  of  life  in  creation.  The 
relativities  of  generation  have  but  one  purpose,  to 
destroy  the  neutral,  the  creative  plane  of  life.  The 
science  of  regeneration  has  but  one  purpose,  to 
sustain  the  neutral,  the  salt  of  the  earth,  from  sea 
to  see.  Where  the  generative  relativity  of  crea- 
tive forces  is  enthroned  the  relations  of  limitation 
are  enthroned.  For  this  limitation  nature  has  an 
eternal  divorce  court.  Nations  and  churches  seek- 
ing to  enthrone  beyond  the  limit  this  limited 
relation  falls  naturally  and  inevitably  into  this 
court.  The  people  divorce  themselves,  at  the 
natural  limit,  from  the  church.  The  government 
and  the  people  are  separated  naturally  when  the 
limit  of  the  fundamental  relation  is  reached.  No 
power  on  earth  can  keep  the  creative  neutral  when 
the  generative  relativities  are  enthroned  as  the 
dominant  law.  The  people  have  been  negative  be- 
fore the  politician  in  church  and  state.  All  gene- 
rative relations  arrive  at  the  universal  divorce 
court  of  the  primitive  law,  to  wed  that  court  or, 
in  this  court,  to  wed  the  One  Law. 

Womanhood  stands  at  the  door  of  Congress 
today  with  her  petition,  weary  of  "the  divorce 
evil"  which  the  nation  and  the  church  have  estab- 
lished and  planted  within  her  life.  The  limit  of 


THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY  419 

national  and  ecclesiastical  ignorance  is  reached. 
America  has  reaped  that  which  she  has  sown.  The 
nation  has  sown  the  dissolution  of  its  homes. 
Womanhood  and  childhood  have  been  the  helpless 
victims  of  national  ignorance  and  egotism.  Today 
the  crucifixion  is  ended.  Her  hour  is  come.  At 
her  hour  the  generative  era  ends  and  the  ACTS  of 
regeneration  begin. 

Life  asks  today  for  the  whole  creative  power  of 
Law  within  the  national  domain.  It  asks  not  for 
womanhood  an  expansion  of  territorial  possession. 
It  asks  the  right  to  write  the  home  in  the  national 
creative  center  that  the  nation  may  write  itself  in 
every  home  in  America  as  Joseph  the  keeper  of  the 
holy  grail,  the  care-taker  of  all  that  is  holy  writ. 
The  woman  is  the  nature  protector  of  the  soul  of 
the  child.  She  is  therefore  the  nature  protector 
of  the  soul  of  the  home.  The  woman  is  formed 
wherever  humanity  becomes  negative  to  the  Law 
which  is  One  over  and  in  All.  The  woman  is  ever 
immaculately  conceived  and  formed  only  to  bring 
forth  the  son  of  the  woman.  The  plea  of  Life 
unto  Humanity  today  is  the  command  to  give 
birth  to  the  woman,  forming  the  woman  out  of 
itself,  to  be  moved  upon  by  the  whole  spirit  of  the 
natural  regenerative  conception.  The  woman 
brings  forth  only  the  Christ.  The  woman,  immac- 
ulately conceived  by  Humanity  out  of  its  own  will, 
becomes  the  Christ,  whose  blood  is  ever  shed  for 
Humanity.  At  a  place  marked,  defined  and  signed, 


420  THE  NEW  DEMOCRACY 

humanity  will  becomes  the  woman,  or  it  will  be- 
come male  and  female  beastly  and  foolish. 

Can  we  not  see  that  unless  Man  rises  to  fulfill 
the  reality  of  Law  he  must  be  sacrificed  in  an  effort 
to  fulfill  destiny  written  in  reflection,  following  the 
shadow  as  the  reality?  Nations  have  been  male 
and  then  female ;  America  is  called  upon  and  given 
the  power  and  the  light  to  become  the  Son  en- 
throned in  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

To  receive  the  power  of  the  Christ,  Humanity 
becomes  the  woman  negative  to  the  Christ,  to  be 
equal  in  the  Father's  house  of  holy  trinity.  The 
Home  is  the  Father's  house,  builded  after  a  plan 
into  many  mansions,  one  for  every  soul  of  earth. 

The  ages  have  worshipped  the  Christ  in  a  single 
sound  of  the  Mother  word  which  draws  unto  itself 
all  righteousness  and  Peace.  OM  is  the  creative 
sound.  "Whithersoever  thou  goest  I  will  go." 

All  Mastership  in  all  ages  has  been  brought 
forth  amid  the  echoes  of  that  sound  which  is 
spoken  by  the  sacred  kine,  and  by  the  creative 
sea.  O  America,  speak  Thou,  and  know  that  the 
Word  of  your  Life  from  out  the  soul  of  your  Law 

is  HOME    ...    OM    ...    OM.    .    .    .
